the Congressional recess is in August. This means that the Senate
which is presently controlled by the stinking rotten DEMOCRATS is also
out of session. But for some obvious reason only the recess of the bumbling Republican House irks you (yes - we know - you gotta be true to your own biases).<br><br>Here's more info on the August recess:<br><a href="http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/generic/News_August_Recess.htm" target="_blank">http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/generic/News_August_Recess.htm</a><br>
<br><With a do-nothing congress in session a total of 112 days this year, why

in spite of Congress.><br>- Obama has continued with Bush's Wall Street policies<br>- Obama has continued with Bush' foreign policy (albeit with tactical changes)<br>- Obama has continued NSA spying<br>- Obama has expanded executive authority<br>
- Sunil could go on but it would fall upon deaf ears for anyone who subscribes to the religion of Republican = bad, Democrat = good<br><br><Who are the REAL takers?><br>Democrats. They take from the wealthy and give to the poor. And note, I have no objection with present percentages of this taking / giving.<br>
