A fee being considered for banks could raise more than $100 billion if the Obama administration seeks to recoup the current estimate of financial bailout costs, but exact figures are preliminary.

Would Republicans oppose a fee designed to recoup bailout costs? Never underestimate the GOP's passion for protecting investment banker bonuses.
I am pro-choice -- have always been since I entered politics almost 15 years ago.
Harold Ford, in 2006:
I was not pro-choice at one time. We don't have votes like that in the Congress.
I'm pro-life, Tucker. I don't run from that.
We're going to teach the people the difference between right and wrong. How come your party [GOP] hadn't offered legislation in the Congress or Senate to outlaw abortion?
If Ford claimed that he had a change of heart, maybe that would have some sembleance of credibility. We'd know it was bullshit, Ford is a political chameleon, but at least it would be plausible. But for him to walk around claiming he was "always" pro-choice is a bald-faced lie.
