Time To Bring Things Around noreply@blogger.com (Syed Rizvi)

It is my first blog in last two weeks so i believe my nation is assuming that it should definitely be special one. In my opinion, this is the special blog but the main reason for the absence is that i was busy in some educational and my crazy socio-political activities. Anyway, it is time to address my nation.

Stimulus Bill! this makes me think of some kind of plan to improve the economy of any country or state. Trust me don't look at it's cover page because all you are going to see the reminder of some change/hope rhetoric that obama used during his election campagin. Look inside! it seems boring as you look at its thickness (8-inch thick packet and 1171 pages) but it is full of jokes and some unnecessary items as you read it.



Before Obama sworn in for the office of US president, he already pressured congress to pass this trillion dollar spendings and pork bill before presidential day break in Congress. On January 23, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said that the bill was on track to be presented to President Obama for him to sign into law before February 16, 2009.

Therefore, The House version of The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Obama's stimulus package), H.R. 1, was introduced on January 25, 2009. It was sponsored by Representative David Obey of Wisconsin, the House Appropriations Committee chairman, and was co-sponsored by nine other Democratic representatives. Although 206 amendments were scheduled for floor votes, they were combined into only 11, which enabled quicker passage of the bill. As a result, on January 28, 2009, the House passed the bill by a 244-188 vote. All but 11 Democrats voted for the bill, and 177 Republicans voted against it (one Republican, Ginny Brown-Waite (R-FL), did not vote).

The Senate version of the bill, S. 1, was introduced on January 6, 2009. It was sponsored by Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the Senate Majority Leader, co-sponsored by 16 other Democratic senators and Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, an independent who caucuses with the Democrats. The Senate called a special Saturday debate session for February 7 at the urging of President Obama. With a vote of 61-36 (with 2 not voting) the Senate voted on February 9 to end debate on the bill and advance it to the Senate floor to vote on the bill itself. On February 10, the Senate voted 61-37 (with one 1 not voting). All the Democrats voted in favor, but only three Republicans voted in favor (Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, and Arlen Specter). Sen. Judd Greg (R-NH) did not vote.



On February 12, 2009, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer scheduled the vote on the bill for the next day, before wording on the bill's content had been completed and despite House Democrats having previously promised to allow a 48-hour public review period before any vote. The bill was not completed and posted on a House website until 10:45 PM on February 12. The next day, the House passed a revised version of the bill by a vote of 246-183, with no Republicans voting in favor and 7 Democrats voting against. The interesting part about this version of the bill is that no law maker or congressman made an attempt to read this bill. However, Democrats still voted for the bill that they don't even know what the contents of this bill are. On the same day, the Senate passed the bill by a vote of 60-38, with all Democrats and Independents voting for the bill along with three Republicans. The remaining thirty-eight Republican senators voted against the bill. (Due to his illness, Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) was unable to vote; there is one senate vacancy, for Minnesota.)



The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 became a part of history as Obama signed the bill into law at an economic forum he was hosting in Denver, Colorado on Tuesday, February 17, 2009, upon returning to work after a 4-day weekend in his hometown of Chicago.



Just for reminder, many congressmen and senator from the right called this porkulus bill, in another words, f

Hi! everyone. Welcome back to my blog
For old readers, as you guys know I am finally back and hoping this time i will be better than ever. By the way, I realized that my nation fell apart when i left so join me back in this journey so we can go together.
For new ones, I am patriot, country-lover, strong, and bold person. I express my views to people whether they like it or not. I am going to show you right face of people and their ideas about the things that either don't exist or don't make any sense. So stand by, Super Rizvi is inviting you to join me in this journey where we left off.
Therefore, ITS TIME TO BRING THINGS AROUND

The year, 2009, was started peacefully from Sydney, Australia to all the way Honolulu, United States of America. People made a number of resolutions and hopes that everything will get better and their life will be back to normal from this economic downturn. Hope is the word that is still keeping people alive. That one day they will wake up and see sunshine that says to them good morning sir/madam so lets get started.

A man from Chicago who has an Hawaiian background, started to redefine the meaning of a word "hope." People start believing him and adoring him because of his words that bring them energy that they need to fix their own life. This man calls himself Barack Hussein Obama, President of the United States of America.

Many people voted for him without even knowing anything about him. Yes, that's true. Most people just know his name. Now i would like to share some stats with you about the voters who voted for Obama and their lack of knowledge courtesy of Direct link to the source. Click here



Zogby Poll

512 Obama Voters 11/13/08-11/15/08 MOE +/- 4.4 points

97.1% High School Graduate or higher, 55% College Graduates

Results to 12 simple Multiple Choice Questions

57.4% could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing)

71.8% could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing)

And yet.....

Only 13.7% failed to identify Sarah Palin as the person on which their party spent $150,000 in clothes

Only 6.2% failed to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage daughter

And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her "house," even though that was Tina Fey who said that!!

Only 2.4% got at least 11 correct.

Only .5% got all of them correct. (And we "gave" one answer that was technically not Palin, but actually Tina Fey)

Barack Obama gained support actually by being a black man who is surrounded by bunch of white people. It makes him look cool to innocent and dumb people of USA. He started to campaign by using his technological awareness stunt on John McCain that McCain does not know how to use youtube. Mr. Obama! if you are reading it, I have a request please read this country's Constitution once. There is some cool stuff in it like qualification to become a President of the United States where it does not mention anything about awareness of modern technology. And it reminds me one more thing that Mr. President is so proud of his awareness about technology that a couple of days ago, he forgot the link of usaservice.org. He flubbed on it about seven times. It could not gain attention because media is full of liberals who melt right in front of Obama. Good luck with that Mr. President. You must be so proud of keeping it out of people's sight.

Also, people consider him as a second coming of messiah. Is he really a Savior that everyone
