We strongly object to spending bailout money for individuals like this. This in effect gave over $100,000 to 50 individuals. Show us any where else bailout money was spent like this. This is irresponsible. Go to www.LawReport.org and read a while and then see how you feel about this kind of thing.

This is the first smart move Obama has finally made. I'm disappointed that Senator Sonia Sotomayor was appproved. She will only make things worse. I'm also against giving all these people welfare and medicaid that choose to be lazy and not work. I have worked all my life and supported 2 kids. So it is very upseting to see my tax dollars supporting lazy people and those that come into this country and get everything handed to them. I have even paid for my college myself. Our system needs to quit letting in people over the borders also and paying their rent, giving foodstamps, welfare, etc. No wonder they come and live here. This is also why the goverment is losing money.

We also need to quit bailing out these people. These people will not learn if we bail them out. Our money needs to go to better places where its needed such as the police force to cut down on our high crime rate and more lighting to help show where these criminals are. and to help patrol our borders and keep our these people who only want to bring crime and drugs into our country.

I also would like to comment on them letting MIchael Vick play football again. He doesn't deserve to after being cruel to animals as well as breaking the law! He set a bad example for everyone especially the young that look up to the football players. Shame on him for ruining these animals. this turnas these animals mean. What is wrong with them for optiing him back in the game!

Please get your facts straight, this is not bailout money. The goverment has been giving out grants to law enforcement agencies for several decades. It sure beats your city and counties raising your taxes to pay for your protection.
