Buh-Bye, Folks
The Washington Times ^ | July 26 2010 | Jennifer Harper

(Fifth item) "The lifting gets lighter when you drop the ball. Congress is about to adjourn for a six-week summer recess — the longest in memory. This despite the fact that Democrats have completely failed to address Americans' worries about the economy, unemployment, reckless spending, skyrocketing debt, job-killing tax hikes, rising health care costs, endless bailouts, and Washington's obstruction of private sector success," says the Republican Study Committee.

They have solved my worries for 6 weeks at least. Too bad they will be back.

Hey, you folks just take the rest of the year off, OK? It’s be the best expenditure of tax money yet during this sorry excuse of an administration.

Will be interesting to see how they spend their six weeks away. They admittedly will have to go some to catch up with the Obama’s tastes in vacation spots and accomodations.

If there was one thing I would have liked them to have done (certainly not “accomplished”) was to write the budget, but the cowards know that the monstrous budget numbers that will appear soon after the election would have served Conservative candidates well over the next 3 months.

They should have to work from home, that way their
constituants could picket and throw rocks at them
every day.

Six weeks. That will put them at the Second week of September. That is about 7 weeks before the election.

Little bammy's crew will be in an absolute panic. On one hand there is the demand from Fearless Reader to pass the communist agenda legislation, on the other hand the communists up for reelection want to keep their jobs.

This is all part of a bigger plan for MaObama to make several key recess appointments, sort of like the recent Medicare/Medicaid Rationing Czar.

They have found the secret to really getting their agenda in place without much of a threat from the Public. Besides, they have managed to permanently change this country in just 18 months and it exceeds all other legislation created since we became a nation, combined.

6 Weeks off will not make a pissant’s hair of difference. The damage is way beyond repair now.

Their idea of “work” is figuring out more ways to spend our money. They need six weeks of daily “spendaholics” counselling with counsellors appointed by Tea Partiers.

I suspect that some in Congress will use this time to look for a job?

QUICK! Somebody change the locks before they return!

And then fumigate the place, followed by thorough disinfecting.

Might as well add an excorism while they are at it.

No good. Any number of them have demonstrated their skill at picking locks over the years.
