Kinda like President Obama blaming President Bush for everything???

No, not like that. If you want to make an connection to Bush you would have to have something like...it is Laura Bush's fault that so many people are reading "50 Shades of Gray".

Someone please explain to me how a congress who can't keep us from the looming fiscal cliff and all the cut backs coming has the gumption to give themselves a $900 a month raise? When I worked, we only got raises when we earned them. I don't think any one in congress has earned any sort of a raise this year.
But, that's just the opinion of someone living 130% below the poverty level.

Vote the bums out! It amazes me every time we Americans re-elect so many of the same people that are screwing this up - and it is a mess they created for themselves!

It just seems that no matter who is in office, the results are the same.

Congress is working on legislation to rescind the pay raises for Congress and the executive branch.

To echo Karen's statement, we just sent a Congress which is rated as one of the worst in history back to power largely unchanged. 90% of the seats remained in the same hands they were in in November.

We have reached national insanity, electing the same fools and expecting different results.

I'm sure they will work really HARD on that!!! Specially seeing how hard they work the rest of the year. That's like putting a fox to guard a hen house.

I totally agree about the national insanity. I keep wondering what are people thinking?

Congress did not give themselves pay raises. It was the President, by Executive Order - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/1...n_2377714.html

Congress is trying to get the Order rescinded - http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012...ess-pay-raise/

I''d be happier than a pig eatin' poop, if the President gave me a $900 per month pay raise. But of course if that ever happened, then Medicare would go up to $895 per month!

A 'funny' set of news reports today.

One politician telling the other to eff off......As if they did it politely?

I guess he forgot he was dealing with politicians.

------------

Chris Christie complaining about the hurricane Sandy relief and how he was promised help from the fed government - I guess he forgot he was dealing with politicians.

--------

And CBS closed the evening news with a story about a man who had spent 18k given to him by FEMA to fix his house.
He was in danger of losing the home because he ran out of money....but, right after the storm he spoke to the pres and CC and they promised him help to get back on his feet....

I guess he forgot he was dealing with politicians?

Congratulations to Congress.

That can is getting pretty scuffed and dented about now.....
