Congressional Time Well Spent? |

 Well, it's late in May and the Republicans have had some time to settle into their new offices after the mid-term rout. Our economy is still in the tank, with an almost non-existent housing market, and unemployment floating around nine percent. If the old guys got the message from the election, and the new guys are doing what they promised, we would expect to see a lot of action on America's miserable financial state, right? Not quite. I recall the old saying "It takes an act of Congress" to do something, meaning it is almost impossible to accomplish. This is apparently still true for the important issues this Country faces. Just as apparently not so for the irrelevant baloney that burns valuable Congressional time and resources on a daily basis. Here for your perusal, is a selection of Congressional business from the last couple days. Both D's and R's are hitting it hard. I just wish they would direct their energy at the important things.

 Some weeks ago, I came across an interesting comment after a Yahoo political story. It seems so lucid and tellling, I am compelled to share it with you. It was signed simply "Bobby".

I've always said I would compliment President Obama when he does something good for this Country. Unfortunately, I have had little opportunity to do so. Finally on Sunday the President took action that allowed me to fully support him. At last this Commander-in-Chief acted like one. He gave our military the chance to do what they do best, and trusted them to execute a risky, bold mission. For me the killing of Osama Bin Laden has been no cause for jubilation, but rather a sense of reserved closure. I am however extremely pleased at the precision and competence shown by our people in uniform as they carried out their grim, necessary duty. Nothing can erase the sorrow of 9/11, but perhaps now we can put it behind us to move forward in a healthy, productive way.
Additionally, the events of this weekend should send a loud and clear message to those in this world both foreign and domestic, who mean to do America harm. You can run, but you cannot hide.
