Hannity ran a special WRT Offical Washington living large---Congressmen and their extended families rolling in dough as lobbyists, sipping the finest wines, driving luxury cars, and so on.
One FReeper posted----on a Carribean cruise, a luxury beachfront home was pointed out----supposedly "owned" by Biden's brother----but that Air Force Two is frequently seen flying in. (Remember that Ohaha put Biden in charge of the hundreds of billions in stim.)

REFERENCE--THROW THEM ALL OUT (how official Washington gets rich on insider deals). Book by Peter Schweitzer.
REVIEW One of the biggest scandals in American politics is waiting to explode: the full story of the inside game in Washington shows how the permanent political class enriches itself at the expense of the rest of us.
<><>Insider trading is illegal on Wall Street, yet it is routine among members of Congress.
<><> Normal individuals cannot get in on IPOs at the asking price, but politicians do so routinely.
<><> The Obama administration has been able to funnel hundreds of millions of dollars to its supporters, ensuring yet more campaign donations.
<><> An entire class of investors now makes all of its profits based on influence and access in Washington.
Peter Schweizer has doggedly researched through mountains of financial records, tracking complicated deals and stock trades back to the timing of briefings, votes on bills, and every other point of leverage for politicians in Washington. The result is a manifesto for revolution: the Permanent Political Class must go.

Biden and other liberal elites justify their corruption by saying 'they give voice to the voiceless and protect blacks from being put in chains. That's so elitist insulting on so many levels... It's bullshit but provides cover for progressives real job of raking in the green and giving it to their friends. Al Gore's a true progressive - ask the folks at Current TV... Thanks for the ping Liz.
Boehner is a first-class idiot. He kept "negotiating" one-on-one with the man who had no interest in negotiating - "in good faith" would be redundant, since Obama was not negotiating, period - Obama was simply stating what he wanted House / Republicans to agree to. You can't negotiate with someone who doesn't think he needs to negotiate with you.
Instead, House should have just isolate Obama by working with the Senate (if possible) and/or passing their plan (if, of course, House Republicans could agree on a plan) and putting the Senate Dems in the very uncomfortable position to vote on it - or let the Senate Dems AND Obama be blamed for letting the taxes rise and "draconian cuts" to their constituents take place.
Maybe they now can start this "regular" course of business - even if it takes the place of CRs, essentially approving piecemeal what executive branch can and cannot spend the money on, instead of budget - basically, putting Obama on a fiscal leash. This way, House can assert its priorities instead of Obama's.
All that is, of course, assuming that they are at all interested in cutting deficit and debt to any kind of "reasonable" level... or just "thinking about their own future" and the "welfare" of their friends and relatives.
