USA: A Criminal White House - An Emasculated Congress
The idiocy is astounding. How can anything get done when it’s met with a Bush veto?
You know what though? I don’t care. Bush, his administration, republican congressmen and right-wing pundits have spent this past year giving the democratic majority grief over just about anything and everything they can think of or pull out of their asses.
And what’s worse? The dems roll onto their spineless backs, throw their legs up and take it. They take it long and they take it deep. We should have known from day-one, when Pelosi took impeachment off the table, that this is what we were to expect.
We asked for help in 2006. Fought tooth and nail for it. And we didn’t get it.
President chides Congress for slow pace
Bush raps lawmakers for bundling spending bills, passing kids’ health bill
WASHINGTON - President Bush scolded lawmakers on Tuesday, saying the Democratic-led Congress hasn-t “seen a bill they could not solve without shoving a tax hike into it.”
Bush, who has been criticized himself for government spending increases, chided Congress for failing to send him any appropriations bills even though the government started a new budget year on Oct. 1.
“The leadership that’s on the Hill now can-t get that done,” Bush said, standing outside the White House with Republican leaders.
Bush also warned Congress not to bother sending him another version of a children’s health insurance bill that he will not sign. Bush vetoed the legislation once; the House has passed a revamped version that he does not support, and the Senate is expected to take it up soon.
“After going alone and going nowhere, Congress should instead work with the administration on a bill that puts poor children first,” the president said.
