Tomorrow, January 5th, is the first full House
Hey folks,
That's right. They are all pretty much there now, but the first official full day of the New House, the 112 Congress commences tomorrow, January 5th, 2011. CBS News had a great piece posted by Mark Knoller, 123110. Here it is.
Then you have this. Bills signed in 2010: 203. Some of which, no, ALL of which costs MORE money and helps NO ONE. Unemployment, Foreclosures, Record Highs. now the "removed" End of Life Counseling, AKA Death Panels, kick in this year in Obamacare. Which is a whole other issue, yet HAS to be added. Another number that has to be added is $3.15 to $5.00 a gallon of Gas. No new Drilling for Seven years, says Obama. This means EVERYTHING will be going up. But we already talked about that.
Yes Obama and the Minions in the 111 Congress HAVE been busy. But none of it is to HELP you. None of it is for the betterment of America. It has ALL been based solely on agenda driven, Dream chasing, Liberal Ideology. It was an attempt to, as Obama SAID he wanted to, TRANSFORM the very foundation of this Country.
Now some are already attacking the New House, and the "Tea Party People" that are coming to take over. I have actually seen Polls, "How do you think the Republicans are doing in the House?" "Are you satisfied with the Job the Republicans are doing?" THEY START TOMORROW. No one can HONESTLY answer that type of Poll. Yet the results are in, most unhappy with them. {Laughing} Mostly of course completed by Libs. But you get the point. How are you enjoying that Raise you got NEXT Week? See what I mean?
No folks. They have yet to take the Reigns. Do I have my doubts? Yup. But do I have Hope? YES. Do I want Change? YES. Will they do the Right thing? We'll have to wait and see. Energy is only one aspect of a greater picture. But it is one that effects EVERYONE. They sure do have their work cut out for them. We'll have to wait to see if they are up to it.

(Credit: CBS/AP) WASHINGTON - No numbers in the year just ending are more consequential for President Obama than the results of the midterm elections.
