What an absolute bunch of uninspiring clowns.
The ONLY thing taht is sure; infighting, backstabing and fingerpointing, like we have never seen.
What is it, besides self promotion and agrandizement, that these folks ahve to their credit? Perhaps upcoming indictments.
Yeah! The folks overseas will really begin to love us; going down the tubes.
So glad we have Reed and Pelosi to round out the circus, and accelerate the meltdown.

While the pre-inaugural anticipation of President Obama's administration is positive and strong we must all be wary of Congress as they have not been stellar performers of late. Now the Reid/Pelosi camp may argue that their do-nothing rep was on account of an arrogant President Bush however, they had the power to at least govern themselves ethically, increase fiscal resposibility by slashing pork, trimming and redirecting bills, injecting accountability in government, etc... which they did not!!! While I am very critical of the Bush administration it was a very weak Congress which facilitated the overall meltdown of leadership. Speaker Pelosi has already remarked upon conditions she will place on the new administration's communications with members of the house, an early indication a power struggle in waiting. America and the new administration face numerous challenges requiring quick decisive action ergo, President Obama's first priority must be to have his party and Congress on board to support his agenda which will not be well served by powerplays by the Congressional leadership as they can derail everything by delaying or stonewalling progress. America works best with team players!!!
