What’s the rush?
And, the question is raised again, what’s the rush?
This summer’s reading list on Capitol Hill includes tomes with page counts that rival “War and Peace” — and the freshmen are having a hard time keeping up.
The House votes Friday on the Democrats’ 1,201-page climate change bill. Up next is an 850-page outline for health care reform.
“The pace is making many well-intentioned people nervous,” said Rep. Parker Griffith, a first-term Democrat from Alabama.
Griffith is an oncologist, which leaves him better prepared than most for the coming health care debate. But even he complains that Democratic leaders are moving too fast on health care for members to understand what they’re doing.
“Why does it have a deadline?” Griffith said. “That makes no sense.”
Doesn’t Barack understand that he is guaranteed four years in the White House (unless this IG scandal leads to impeachment, because we all know Democrats never resign, no matter how disgraced). He doesn’t need to ruin our country in the first year. He can take his time. Otherwise, he’s going to become a lame duck president in his first term.
Not that my concern is for Obama’s political future. I’m concerned about our country. He is radically and rapidly changing it. If he can do all of what he has already done in the first six months, what does he have in store for us in the next three and a half years?

“Democrats never resign no matter how disgraced”
…says one from the party of Nixon, Gingrich, Vitter, Ensign…all those alive are STILL hanging onto their offices, regardless of shame and scandal (what’s worse, after making careers pointing the finger at others). reality check, hotmes! (Not that Dems are better, but be careful of blatant hypocrisy before you point fingers.)

sges: uh, Nixon resigned you stupid tool.
Oh, how I would love to see impeachment proceedings brought against Chairman Zero. Even if it is fruitless it would doom this cretin to one term and bring gridlock to “the most ethical congress evah” before it turns the USA into Zimbabwe East.
