I think you misunderstood. I'm for museums too. They fall under education and recreation. However I do not believe in adding them onto a bill for national defense in order to obtain the leverage to pass it. You should not hide it in lengthy bills or use your vote for leverage. It doesn't have to be that way. I believe people deserve better. I'm sure you will come back with "but republicans did it" or "thats how it has always been done". I thought this President was for change. Thats what I want to see. Don't you?

I think a President can be for change all he or she wants. The culture in Congress can be fairly immune to the "latest Joe" that occupies the White House. Most of them figure they'll outlast the President.
