I think they all should be tested for drugs and alcohol once a year at the least. The general public has to be tested since they passed that law, why not them? They can always skirt around the laws they pass?

I definitely think Hillary hits the bottle. Why was she out to lunch on the Benghazi fiasco? No one was watching the store and we are put in danger. Make all of them abide by the laws they make for everyone else.

Why not ask them how they spent those funds and why it did not achieve the desired outcome.

Ever wonder if the economy would have been different if only:

9/11 and all that followed had not happened?
The war had not happened?
The unfunded Bush tax cuts had not happened?
The housing bubble had not happened?
Katrina had not happened?
Congress had not prevented Medicare from negotiating the price of prescription medications?
The Tax Code had been simplified and reformed?

The state of the economy reflects all this and more, lot's more and is non-partisan.

maybe he picked up the speech patterns of the local alkys

Republicans are not responsible for the poor economy. After all, Obama got over 1.5 TRILLION in stimulus. (PS why is it that the budget continues to grow? I thot the stimulus was a one time deal....) So where's the beef, Mr President? Where are the jobs? Where is the recovery?

Absolutely the worst post WW2 GDP growth. How's that stimulus working, eh Mr President? How's that scalpel holding up? You know... the one you are using to cut the waste and duplication in the budget?

Obama is a phony, thru and thru. Anyone who supports him is a mind numb robot.
You must be on the wrong thread because this is about Boehner and his drinking.

If the governors can balance their budgets than those on the hill can do it as well.

You know they are talking about our money, don't you?
