ABC News reports that Louisiana senator Mary Landrieu, one of the last Democrats holding out on supporting Senate majority leader Harry Reid’s health-care legislation, has sweetened Louisiana’s slice of Obamacare by $100 million (via disaster-relief dollars) in a little-noticed provision on page 432 of Reid’s bill. Landrieu, of course, is not doing anything to hide this $100 million allocation. If anything, she’s proud of it. It’s “something she has been working on for a long time,” says Robert Sawicki, Landrieu’s press secretary.
Not all of Landrieu’s colleagues, however, are quite so happy about it. One reason: The $100 million provision was hammered out behind closed doors on Thursday in Reid’s office.

You know our elected officials are so quick to point out other government's that are corrupt--referring to them as banana republics, etc. etc.--while all along they do it right here in this country. And they do it with our tax dollars by bribing our elected officials into voting for a bill that they are on the fence about, or wouldn't have dreamed of voting for.
We need to remember these politicians & vote them out of office. We need to send a clear message to Washington D.C. that pork barrel VOTE bribary is no longer acceptable.
We need to insist that this congress & administration pass legislation in this country that pork barrel vote bribary is illegal.
