Well, bruce... That is totally wrong thinkin' on yer part... If you look at the health care reform legisl;ation, Obama went to the Repubs early and met with them and asked them for their ideas and asked them to be part of fixing a very broken system...

The Repubs answer" No, thanks, we'll just become gants and irritate ya'll, which they did...

Many of the things in the legislation were things that Repubs had offered in the past but in an effort to derail any legislation short of patting the insurance companies on the backs and giving their COE's medals the Repubs instead voted against their own ideas???

What the heck was that about???

Now, as for the old school house... Didja get the basement pumped out and, more importantly, did ya get the "storm" drain line cleaned out??? Those are #1 and #2 on the project... Can't have that water in the basement and once that storm drain is open the roof will work a whole lot better, too, 'cause the water won't back up in the stack...
