| 9. I'm celebrating the most successful Congress since FDR times |
|
I don't like kool-aid, I use my brain to make my own decisions about whether something is good or bad.
These are Obama's victories, including the tax bill that helps millions of unemployed.
These are Pelosi's victories.
These are Reid' victories.
Can't we be happy about the incredible successes for one day before the complaining starts? Sheesh.
|
| -Is it only me or does anyone else feel like these were not Obama's victories? |
