Where’s the spending bill?
Two weeks ago, the president signed a stop-gap spending bill to keep the government running for another few weeks. He then assigned Joe Biden to ride herd on Congress to get a new spending bill passed. Biden immediately accepted the assignment and then boarded a plane to Russia. So much for leadership from the White House.
Now we’re looking at another stop-gap measure because the last one is expiring.
So, John McCain and Joe Lieberman try to carve out defense spending from the bill and now Dick Durbin opposes that. And Joe Biden is getting a train station named after him.
So while the Obama Administration fiddles, where’s our damned spending bill? They certainly can’t claim they’re too busy with foreign policy issues since they’ve lost Libya and dithered long enough for the Gulf States to form a mercenary army to put down revolutions there.
Republicans in Congress are proving themselves to be the same types of boobs as the Pelosi crowd. It’s like the country is being run by my high school student body government.
You’ll have to excuse my blogging today. I’m zipping down I-68 towards DC (no, I’m not driving). Research is a little thin and so are my thoughts.

When the going gets tough, the non-tough leave.
Jonn, he’s not fiddling, he’s golfing. Or partying, or flying off to see how Soros’ money is doing down in Brazil.
Truly believe the POTUS and his inner circle are simply overwhelmed.
The economy isn’t working as it should in a graduate thesis.
The leaders of the world use the practice of bowing to acknowledge status, like a beta male exposing its belly to an alpha male. And suddenly the world no longer listens to us, as it should in a graduate thesis.
There’s one lawyer per twenty-five citizens. There are more laws, rules, regulations than there are mores, customs, and courtesies. And yet society isn’t behaving in the orderly fashion one reads about in a graduate thesis.
With the illusion of control shattered in the recent elections, what do overwhelmed people do? Resort to following schedules made long in advance: trips to Russia, hitting the links, giving speeches on fiscal responsibility.
About what I’d expect from a grad student who ardently believes his thesis contains all the answers.
Yup–Obama is so overwhelmed he’s taking another trip–this time to Brazil. Lucky bastard.
