This is a cluster fuck.
I am not sure exactly what happened here. The White House warned them about this, and the President went so far as to veto it.
What I really think happens in Congress is that no one is really paying attention to what they are doing.... They get a new potential bill, and instead of reading it they staff it out to a group of people who decide which way to vote. In some cases, the actual content of the bill isn't important and this is where politics comes into play. It seems to me like they wanted to hand Obama a defeat at all costs.
Why doesn't our government just do it's job instead of playing games?
