Here we are in the middle of the first month of the new year and Congress has been in session since January 4th. There has been alot of hooplah and ceremonial crowning of the first woman Speaker of the House. But, what happened to the big "First 100 Hours" that Nancy Pelosi was so adament about enacting under her and the new democratic leadership? Did they start off by lying to the American people, of the 1st broken promise or did something more subtle take place under their botoxed noses? Could it be that a Presidential speech calling for more troops in Bagdad, a bold and "more aggressive action" has distracted and derailed the democrats plan for the first 100 hours?
It was 100 BUSINESS hours...
There's a plan! Glad he did it.
"It was 100 BUSINESS hours..."
only counting those hours of every work day of the 4th thursday of a month
incorrect..it's 100 business hours spent on the 6 agenda items they wanted to pass..so, if they're in session on something other than one of those items, the time spent does NOT apply to the "first 100 hours"..according to pelosi's website, 75 hours still remain, even though they've been in session since january 4..in other words, her 100 hours has been twisted to mean what she wants it to mean, regardless the impression it first gave..at this rate, the 100 hours can last all year..

The clock is only running when Nancy has the gavel in her hand.
Maybe Pelosi hired Pied Piper Pitt as her timekeeper?
Since the moon shows the same face to the Earth its day night cycle is equivalent to 14 Earth Days and nights but it rotates around its axis NEVER so its hours is 1/28th of NEVER.
Confusing? Not to the Dims!!!

Yes, the "First 100 Hours" was frittered away by the democrats, who then moved the goal posts and proclaimed another "First 100 hours"; in which they frittered that away as well.
To answer your question, I not only did not believe them, I wanted to get it on the record somewhere that they are PROVEN LIARS...thus, I posted this thread.

Did Congress give itself a pay raise?
lol, me too. He may not be the best "communicator", but he's a lot more politically savvy than people think.
