...this nation turns its lonely eyes to you, oo oo oo, oo oo oo!"
Slobo stayed up all night last night making this movie about the GOP's protest in the House chamber yesterday (oh how I would love to have been there!)
Sorry, still haven't come down from my rage-a-thon yesterday
I think the American people need to see things like Slobo's movie, and need to understand what's really going on here: that their representatives are NOT representing them, either because they won't, or because they are not being allowed to do so.
The American people also need to understand that this kind of behavior on the part of the Speaker is not just bullying, it's DICTATORSHIP. What else do you call it when the person in control says "I don't care what the people want, I'm doing what I want!"?
The Congressional approval rating is currently 14%, that is the lowest percentage in the history of the approval rating poll. So I'm not sure who Pelosi thinks she's pleasing with her actions, cuz it sure ain't the majority of Americans!
Is she so gutless that taking a stand--even in support of what she *claims* is what Americans want (i.e., no drilling)--will cost them votes come election time? If your answer is yes, you know what that means don't you? That she not only doesn't care about what's good for the country (a.k.a. the majority of people who WANT drilling), she only cares about what's good for *their side.*
I'm sure she sees this as a way to launch Baby Barry's adminstration....If we're still in a criss, and they suddenly allow drilling, they'll be able to give credit for the move to Obama, he'll be hailed as the great leader who got it done, not Bush (whose legacy they are bound and determined to tarnish).
Whatever her grand evil plan, one thing is certain, the American people don't like being jerked around. They want something done, and they want ut now.
I personally think Bush should order them back to work. He has the power, and I think it would be great if he used it, after all, his approval rating is still better than theirs!
