Obama signs a bill extending previous year funding levels so the federal government won't shut down. See text at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/09/03/06/President-Obama-signs-continuing-resolution/
I would like to think that the delay in passage is because there is going to be some serious thought to the pervasive pork in the 2009 Omnibus Appropriations Act but I am not getting my hopes up. Apparently the unified stance by Republicans in delaying the passage is to given them a chance to propose more amendments. More on that early next week. We need a third party.
