This morning on the Senate floor, Majority Leader Harry Reid publically vented his clear frustration with House Republicans over the ongoing debt ceiling negotiations. Let me get this off my chest, he said, calling it untoward that the House is not in session this weekend.
He warned Congress has "days, not weeks" to get this done.
He complained that the Senate is in a holding pattern, waiting for action from the House. I think it is just untoward, said Reid. That's the kindest word I can say to the House of Representatives, out this weekend
what a bad picture that shows to the country.

The Rats have no plans....that they are willing to make public.
The House Repubs should hold a golf tournament.
The lines are busy. Keep them that way.
Harry POS Reid ALERT!
“that they are willing to make public”
Expect the unexpected from this group. Apparently there’s a vote on the house bill Saturday. Nothing is going to get done before Aug 2nd. and Obama will just sign an executive order claiming a state of emergency, and raise the debt ceiling on his own. Forgiveness is easier than approval.
He warned Congress has days, not weeks to get this done.
Oh, like the Libya operation! I get it!
Sheesh...
Colonel, USAFR
Ried and HIS senate are “untoward” by not passing a budget in 800 days.
That is unlawful, the Whole congress must pass a budget yearly.
I believe that this is a Capitol offense.
Perhaps summary execution is the punishment.
The Senate vote on CCB is supposed to happen Saturday according to Jeff Sessions (R-AL).
I suggest everyone email or phone their Senators, RAT or not.
