112th Congress: Welcome. What have you done for me lately?
Today the 112th Congress takes office. Congratulations. So where are the jobs you promised? Why isn't the deficit reduced? Why hasn't health care reform been repealed? How come the President hasn't been impeached?
Tick, tick, tick.
It is easier to criticize than it is to govern. To those who elected the Republicans, expect to be disappointed. A lot. You were sold a bill of goods by charlatans. Ist's bad enough many of you voted against your own interest and we're gulled by people who have no interest, desire, or empathy to help you.
Attention Democrats, your lack of focus, and unwillingness to take the initiative leaves you with a weak hand. Unless you desired to lead in this session, you will be replaced. That includes you, Mr. President.
We're in the worst economy since the great depression and we get to hear the Constitution read everyday in the House of Representatives. How fatuous. So let's sit back and relax and enjoy life in like it was in the 90s. The 1890's.
Let's hope that the 2012 elections will be a referendum on the Republicans and Tea Partiers. Let that debate start now, before it is too late.

It's going to be a fun two years. But at least we know what we are getting with the party of no progress.
On the other side of stupid, the Democrats spent most of the election cycle running away from their accomplishments. Accomplishment that should be viewed as considerable considering what they were up against. The whole thing baffles me at times.
Linda -- I have low expectations. I expect them to be met...just barely.
Ocular -- GOP, no progress is our most important product.
MRSRAPTOR -- You are correct...and it's sad.
Michael -- the Dems need consultants who will get them elected and allow them to govern.

Short, sweet and spot on....

It hasn't gone unnoticed that more got done in the lame duck session than many expected. I have always had faith in Obama.
He may not be as emotive or outwardly passionate as Bill Clinton or doesn't smack his fist the way W did (ugh), but he is a highly intelligent man who I believe has done a great job in the two years since the nation almost crumbled into a million pieces.
