Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid Admit they lead a Do Nothing Congress

Since the Democrats have been in power, nothing has been acomplished by them. They haven’t been able to stop the was as they promised. Only a fool thought they would step in and end the war anyway.

They passed domestic legislation in their much publicized first 100 hours in congress. (Even though they called a timeout in the middle of the first 100 hours so they all could go home and watch the national championship college football game, before restarting the clock.) But only one piece of that legislation has become law. A meaningless minimum wage increase. This whole notion that families are trying to earn a living at minimum wage is absurd. It’s highschool teenagers, and entry level workers earning that pay. When you show improvement, you move up the payscale.

So now Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid admit their’s is the do nothing congress.

 An issue they ran on the the November election was that the Republicans were in charge of a do nothing congress.

Nancy Pelosi:

“I’m not happy with Congress, either,” Pelosi, of San Francisco, conceded.

Harry Reid is so upset about his failure as a leader he threatened to keep the Senate in session during the August recess.

Pelosi’s excuse:

Congress has “never been popular.”

And:

 “the obstructionism of the Republicans in the United States Senate.”

There you have it she sounds like a little child when she says something like well congress has never been popular anyway. WaahWaahWaah

And of course it’s the evil Republicans fault anyway. I thought they had a mandate in the last election? I guess we are finding out a SLIM majority doesn’t really qualify as a mandate, does it?

They are finding governance more difficult now that they have to PROPOSE ideas and not just OPPOSE ideas.

And besides it was the Democrats who made all this so-called obstructionism possible.

The Democrats in their years in the minority made a filibuster-proof 60-vote supermajority — rather than a 51-vote simple majority — the threshold needed to pass any legislation in the Senate.

Now they are being bitten by their own shortsightedness.
