Confronting The Congress!!!

Congratulations President Elect-Obama…

Unlike many of the Para-Liberals who fumed and fought and denigrated George Bush after 2000, Barack Obama will have my support as an American…Whether I voted for him or not, whether I think his policies will be damaging, at this point make little difference… Like it or not, he’s now MY President, and I will respect the Office…

Now comes a time of reckoning… Time to “Walk the Walk”…

Poll-driven Political expedience will no longer cut it… Hundreds of Millions of Dollars worth of “Touchy Feely” slick Ads are not going to pass laws… The “Transcending Party Politics” clock is now ticking…. “We the People Inc.”, your new employer, are going to expect measurable results…

And it’s time to CONFRONT THE CONGRESS!!!

Dozens of times last night, I heard the phrase “ Bush’s approval ratings are the lowest in the history of Polling”… OK, I’ll buy that, somewhat… 27.8% approval is far from Stellar…

Congressional Approval ratings are 10.5% lower than Bush’s, 17.3% approval, but so far I haven’t heard a word about it…

Obamas Political capitol can easily be squandered by the Pelosi/Reid/Schumer/Emanuel quadratic equation in very short order… Just break one promise...

Ms. Pelosi said 2 years ago that the new Congress would work in a Bi-Partisan Manner, and thus far nothing has been farther from the truth… A Little more than a week ago she reiterated the same sentiment, with the caveat tha "with a majority, it will be better"... Fool me once, shame on you... fool me twice, well you know the rest!

A “Vengeance” campaign against remaining House and Senate Republicans would destroy not only their credibility, but that of the President Elect as well… Americans understand this, and I believe that’s the reason (although the Reid contingent made significant gains last night), the voters determined that the Senate should not be Filibuster or Veto Proof…

17.3%.... That number should be “Idiot-Proof” to improve… Generally, all they should have to do is show up for work, and they can hold that line… But “We the People Inc.” deserve better…

It’s time to get to work… Stalling, disallowing Debates and Votes on the House and Senate Floor, Sandbagging, Poisoning valid Bills with Pork is no longer acceptable… With Democrats in control of 2 out of 3 Branches of Government, and a strong possibility of acquiring leverage in the Supreme Court in the next few years, there are no excuses anymore… “Plausible Deniability” is now replaced by Responsibility and Accountability…

17.3% Ms. Pelosi, Mr. Reid… Take careful note of that number… You’ve flown under the Radar for the last 2 years, and in the words of the New President “Change Has Come!”…

Nancy, you’d better break out the Kevlar panties, and Harry, you sir had better start wearing a “Cup” when the Senate is in session… People are still going to want non-partisan investigations into the Economic collapse…People are going to hold you accountable for any extremist policies… Your actions have consequence, and now you have no one to blame but yourselves...

I hope you're up for the job of purging the Legislative branch of the toxic environment you helped to foment...

Remember the Ancient Chinese Proverb “Be careful what you wish for, you might get it…”

I hope, for the good of the Country you use the next 24 months to better advantage than you did the last 24...

We'll be watching...
