Good men do nothing, in other words.
What would you have them do? Posture? Bitch? Moan? Whine?
Frankly, I'd like to see them do a little more posturing, myself. Pass a bill or a resolution and send it to the Senate, create some noise. Just to let us know that they're still in the game.
They have chosen not to do that though -- and that may be the wisest course. Because Obama is trying to portray them as the "do nothing Congress" -- and posturing on pointless legislation probably isn't the best way to combat that image.
