Do something, Congress
July 30th, 2008 by SpokesbloggerWith House Democrats in the steering wheel, Congress’ approval ratings have fallen to a record low (in Jack’s words, even President Bush won’t appear in pictures with us…) and Speaker Pelosi is scrambling for accomplishments to tout during the five-week vacation she intends to take.
Let’s see, should we address the nation’s energy crisis? Not on her watch!
Should we work towards real reform of the nation’s healthcare system? Not on her watch!
Should we fund the government through annual spending bills? Not on her watch!
Should we do something about Social Security reform? Not on her watch!
What, then, should Congress do? Mark Armstrong’s “Drawing Board” puts it perfectly…
So what have House Democrats done this week?
Last Friday, they held an impeachment hearing against President Bush. That’s sure productive.
Today, they issued a contempt citation to Karl Rove and, since that’s not productive enough for one day, they voted to ADJOURN for the month of August.
What’s the House doing under Speaker Pelosi’s watch? Taking vacation.
