Just what the hell is “potential progress?” And if it is only “potential” how in the world do you know for a fact that it exists!! Unfortunately I am part of that “large segment” of the GOP that isn’t clueless in the least as to “how Congress works.” The way that Congress “works” is a disgrace. To try to paper over their unwillingness to face the critical issues facing this country is just nonsense! Give me a break, reasonable people know that Congress is broken. Why in the world would you make such a statement to cover for a weasel like Boner?
What do you have a problem with? “Potential” or “progress”? Congress has been roundly hated for virtually its entire existence so your problem with it is certainly not unique or original.
It is what it is and there is little that can be done about it. IF we had a media which reported accurately rather than try and smear the GOP and cover up for the Democrats something might be done. But WE DON’T.
The Are We There Yet? Party of which you are a member in good standing does not seem to grasp these simple facts and therefore goes flying off the handle when their wishes are not INSTANTLY granted.
Who in their right mind would have expected anything more than a spike in Obama’s wheels from the current structure in which conservatives hold MAYBE a third of one House of Congress? That is all that can be expected. New members of Congress have very little say or influence and never will. This is nothing I am justifying or defending it just is a matter of fact like saying a bullet to the head will kill you.
MG it is like you think you elected Superman last fall.
