When (not if) the same people figure they can delay doing something further, we'll just ignore these poor victims of progress, downtrodden masses at the end of their last can of beer? Heavens no! We'll have to have another postponement! It's not like we've been planning this transition for years now is it?

LOL, yeah they are doing this on purpose just to piss people like you off.

:disgust:

Flash news update, this postponement is not dead yet.

The first time it was tried, it was fastracked, which requires a 2/3 vote, this time its normal tracked which requires a simple majority the dems can muster in the house.

Now the question is the Senate, will the R's filibuster, if not, Obama has said he will sign it.
