What on earth is wrong with Congressional Democratic incumbents? Barack Obama is not yet even installed in office and already they are doing exactly what they did the last time a Democratic president was in office. They are cutting him off and making him look like he has no control over his party. And when that happened it ushered in Gingrich and his Republican revolution. Do we really want to risk losing what we have gained because of camera worshipping entrenched politicians for whom change meant a better office and a more prestigious committee assignment?
DiFi publically went all Ms. Pissypants for not being asked who she would like to have at CIA (and ought to know better than think her despicable record supporting torturers and wiretappers to think the larger body of Democrats care what her opinion is).
Now John Conyers is trying to start up a move to prevent confirmation of Sanjay Gupta. A skilled and published, still practicing neurosurgeon who also has tremendous communication skills and has followed the wider health care crisis in depth in his role as CNN contributor.
Pelosi made sure PE Obama knows that where she rolled over for George Bush at every turn, NOW she is going to hold her own President's feet to the fire?!
Reid commented that He didn't work for Obama.
Are you f***ing kidding me? They are still holding turf battles and pissing about hurt egos while we are in the greatest national crisis in generations. Did Congress throw potshots at their president after Pearl Harbor? What is wrong with these people?? All progressives should target these obstructionists (they could bring concerns privately, but they have to get their Sunday Talk Show moments) for the campaign for more and BETTER DEMOCRATS. Cause the ones we have now just suck and they are going to squander the biggest opportunity we have to make our nation strong and respected again.
What do we do? I call my reps every week about this kind of crap, but it never seems to change. Hoyer is from my home state and he is a classic example of the type of entrenched party bottom feeder who, in my opinion, is only there TO SERVE HIMSELF at this point.
