I am sick of these clowns in Washington. They do absolutely nothing of any consequence for the nation. Line there pockets with largesse from Political Action Committees screw the general public then run off on the weekend. We continute to vote them into office. Are we collectively INSANE? Let's just see who will be held accountable in the upcoming elections. I know I can spell all my representative's name's. I will not make the mistake of selecting that spelling come my time to represent. What a bunch of useless people.
If they are NOT going to govern....they need to get out of the way so we can find somebody who will!
Obama wanted the position, knew what was involved, knew was he was into as this is his second term. It was his responsibility to get everyone together and make things happen. He failed and now fingers are getting pointed and the blame game begins. Its not his fault but Obama is the President of the USA.
So I ask if the person in charge of the executive branch can not lead the leaders in the legislative branch and not be held accountable for their failings then what is the point in having a single top person in the first place?
why is congressional pay not included in sequester please address the elephant
