It's almost been a year since the stimulus and we still have not seen the job creation that Obama promised. The news media is finally catching on that the majority of the money was swallowed by bureaucrats in Washington. CNN just released a poll showing 3 out 4 Americans believe the stimulus money was wasted.

Republican Scott Brown won a stunning victory last night to fill Senator Ted Kennedy's seat in Massachusetts. His election deprives the Democrats of a supermajority and will force Democrats to work with Republicans on all major issues. The leftist agenda that began last year is coming to a halt and we have the people of this country who have stood up for freedom from government to thank.

The Politico
Deadline looms over reform
By: Chris Frates

House and Senate Democrats still have major differences to iron out as they race to send President Barack Obama health care reform before his State of the Union address — not the least of which is whether they can even meet his latest deadline.

Will they make it? Maybe, maybe not. Senate Democrats are more optimistic than their House colleagues.

By now, I'm sure you have all heard about the many problems with the Democrats' economic stimulus package. It is filled with wasteful government spending, and a majority of the projects will not take effect until after 2010. Of greatest concern to me, however, is the burden we are placing on future generations.

This week I had the honor of accompanying former President Bush from Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland to a "Welcome Home" rally in Midland. Traveling with my old friend and one of America's greatest patriots will be a memory I cherish forever. The reception of people in the district was warm and appreciative, which stood in stark contrast to the cold temperatures and chilly sendoff in Washington, D.C.

Thank you to all of you who signed your names and left comments regarding the auto bailout. With strong Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress and Barack Obama's presidency on the horizon, it is more important than ever that we speak out against an overreaching government.

As many of you know, the auto bailout failed in the Senate, sparing the taxpayers from supporting bad business. In the end, Chapter 11 bankruptcy should allow these firms to emerge stronger and more nimble while keeping most of the jobs.

Last night the Democrats collected enough votes in the House pass legislation that bails out our nation's top three car companies, and that's a shame. A handout from the American taxpayer will only waste money and postpone the difficult decisions the "Big Three" must make. The best option for these companies right now is bankruptcy so that they can reorganize and emerge stronger, healthier businesses.

Suzanne and I would like to wish you a happy Thanksgiving. We hope you find time to spend the holiday with family and enjoy one of my favorite American traditions.

I recently returned home from Washington, D.C., and this Thanksgiving I am thankful for more than being at home with my family.

I am thankful that, even during these challenging times, we still live in the greatest country on earth.

Please join me on this day of thanks in praying for our country and thanking the brave men and women in the military who protect our freedoms.
