Congress is angry? Congress is lashing out? Oh really.

Are they lashing out at themselves, too. Maybe they should all buy large rubber mallets and repeatidly smack themselves in the head with them.

85% of Congress should be thrown out into the curb head first, handcuffed and dragged off to prison.

Don't get me wrong, Obama is a joke. But......

Our Congressmen/Congresswomen have been and continue to be a HUGE part of the problem, in this country. They are as corrupt, crooked and slimey as it gets. They are as complicit in the screwing Americans have been receiving for decades, as the Financial and Insurance (same thing) companies.

As Americans, we should their asses out of office and throw them into the gutter (prison).

Congress has been failing the citizens of America, for decades!

So they're Angry at Obama? Screw them! And screw Obama, too! They're crooked and corrupt!

He may as well be a lame duck already.

The "recovery" is NOT noticed by the vast majority.
Many are beginning to think they just might be.......being lied to, perhaps?

And for someone who campaigned for and "sought" unity and bipartisanship.........I see just the OPPOSITE occuring and an all-out assault and takeover taking place instead. This, only succeeding at further DIVISION amongst our elected "leaders" (within BOTH parties and more so now with the Dems. than before)......and amongst ourselves.

Besides, you just GOT to be suspicious of ANYONE who desires to have any reform or policy......RUSHED through or shoved down everyone's throats despite how a LOT of people feel!
And I mean.....RAMMED through......like NOW!
Suspect. Very suspect.

Looks like the Congressional Black Caucus is finally waking up to what a joke Obama is.

From Washington Post article:
"President Obama's allies in the Congressional Black Caucus, exasperated by the administration's handling of the economy, unexpectedly blocked one his top priorities, using a legislative maneuver to postpone the approval of financial reform legislation by a key House committee."

They need to get their act together and do something about stopping the health care reform joke of a bill, too. The NAACP didn't like the proposed cuts to Medicare Advantage in 2007, why aren't the NAACP and the CBC objecting the proposed cuts to MA now?

The NAACP's 2007 position on Medicare Advantage (MA = Medicare Advantage):

NAACP: "MA plans — private health plan options that provide coverage to 8.3 million Medicare beneficiaries — disproportionately provide coverage to low-income and racial and ethnic minority beneficiaries. Specifically, 40 percent of African Americans without Medicaid or employer coverage rely on comprehensive health insurance coverage provided by MA plans. By providing more comprehensive benefits and lower cost-sharing than traditional Medicare, MA plans help racial and ethnic minority populations gain access to health care services that are critical to their long-term health and well-being."

(NAACP letter is 1/3 of the way down the page)

Are the NAACP and the CBC really on board with accepting less access to comprehensive health care for low-income and minority seniors?

Incredible.. what ever happened to the Buck stops here mentality in this country.

There is ZERO accountability anywhere.

It is time we start holding these greedy, power hungry buffoons responsible for the damage they have caused this great nation.
