It is said that a stopped clock is right twice a day, and even a dim bulbs like Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe and Newsmax can sometimes get something right.

GOP's Inhofe: Federal Bailout the 'Most Outrageous' Vote in U.S. History "U.S. Sen. James Inhofe tells Newsmax that Congress' approval of the 0 billion Wall Street bailout is the `most outrageous vote in American history.'"
As Obama asks for the second 0 billion for Wall Street, opposition from so called "progressive Democrats," especially the local ones, is not being heard.
While he has called for the second 0 for Wall Street, Obama team remains, like the Bush Administration, silent on bailout money for state and local governments, including medicaid. Continuity from Bush to Obama continues: state and local governments don't need bailouts but can simply cut social spending.
"Progressive Democrats" sit and do nothing but applaud Obama.
