Obama Rewards Political Favors

The Pulpit of a Bully
The 51st Congress (1889-91) was tagged as the Billion Dollar Congress, a profligate Republican-run legislature that raided the Treasury in an effort to pay off all its supporters. The 111th should go down in history as the Trillion Dollar Congress. An enormous energy package passed during a lame duck session would be a fitting epilogue for the Trillion Dollar Congress, which has been consistently out of step with the public mood.

The only reason to pass such a major piece of legislation during a lame duck session is because the proposal is unpopular. If Democrats could sell the bill to their constituents, they would pass it before the November elections then campaign on it. Party leaders must also expect that the political will for this bill will not exist in the 112th Congress after the voters have spoken in November. In other words, the new representatives coming in are not going to vote for it - so Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barack Obama had better get the representatives who were just fired to support it before they're forced into early retirement.

Jobs to Drop Out. The best way to land a job during President Obama's tough economic recession is to declare your intention to run against incumbent Democratic Senators in 2010 or 2012.

Yes, answering the American People's questions is ever so upsetting. Guerrilla-style interview tactics make ambushed lawmakers’ blood boil. When the bosses ask you a question, you freakin' answer it. Or Else. Apparently "journalists" have the same problem. Why Can't Journalists Handle Public Criticism? Guess what, if we don't trust you, we don't buy your work. And then you lose your job while we continue on with more reliable news sources. You aren't the only data set out there so get over yourself and do your job correctly. DUH.
