Dear Congress Republican side. We voted You in to do our bidding. End the spending on health care package. Re-direct the tax dollars to paying down the debt. Are you asleep at the wheel. I am up-set and would like to hear some thing. We are at a cross-roads are you going to stand up and be men follow the wishes of voters, or your plans of deal making.
I heard on the radio WLS 89 Chicago 03-31-2011 that 6 weeks ago, emergency funding of 14 billion dollars had to be made availabe for the CIA retirement packages. What happened to the funds, who drained the money. I heard of businesses doing this to keep the co. afoat in hopes for better return.
I only see one answer cut, cut ,cut. Here is a suggestion don't add the yearly 10% infationary increase to all departmants of government. Did n't that start back in the 1970, but cut the number down to 2006 tax and spend and put a freeze on expendutures. Remember We the citizens of the United States put you in office to do our bidding, and if you don't this will fall apart like a house of cards the because, any deal you make with the Democrates is a deal with the Devil.........

Obama can no longer operate under the friendly protection of a Democratic Congress. Too much abuse, waste, and unethical hanky-panky has been tolerated at the White House. It is time to clean house & let the air of transparency push out the deeds of hidden excesses. IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE!

It is in every last American that John Bohner the Republican Tea Bagger doesn't get his way cuz these guys are intent on ruining the US, like they didn't already ruin the economy.
This reporter is full of baloney and just harping on the tired GOP BS talking points - to start with it was the Republicans under George Bush who bailed out the banks and other financial institutions. Are they going to investigate Bush, too? Highly doubtful because all this is another batch of witchhunts that the GOP wants to waste of money on.

I'll believe it when I see it.
I'd bet money that if the GOP ran Congress and even IF Obama loses to a Republican in 2012, they'll go back to happily watching TV, Faux News, and claiming anyone who doesn't agree with them and the Government is a "traitor".
Suuuuuuuure...they'll wave Old Glory even and happily support more spending as long as it's on the military-industrial complex. I'd love to then ask them "what about the deficit?"

All this is doing is making the USA look like a country of childish kids, I was over in Germany and England 1 Month ago today,< Aug,29, 2010 > and I never felt so ashamed to be an american in all my life, I was asked over and over how a country could disrepect the President on a daily basis on national telivision,They wanted to know why do americans not stand behind its President to try and help solve some of the problems instead of whinning and shouting and putting all the blame on a President who inherited the mess GW BUSH left him with. Its a shame our President is admired over seas, and we are viewed a a bunch of redneck backwoods hillbillies.

The difference will be the TEA PARTY PEOPLE.
THEY will be watching the Republicans to make sure they don't waste any money on any unnecessary witch-hunts.
Because if they see someone WASTING GOVERNMENT MONEY...no matter which party they are in...they will ATTACK THEM just as they are attacking Team Obama today.

GOP "investigations"?!! LOL! Did the Dems and Obama investigate the war criminals of Bush's WH? Why would they investigate the bailout? It was BUSH who instigated that program. And, it actually helped. Please, can't they see that the "tea partiers" don't want that kind of government bullcrap? ugh.
