Congress is sounding more and more like middle management in a huge corporation

[rudy23]

They sound just like middle managers who are scrambling around to make sure their bosses don't look bad.

They're using the same types of far-flung rationalizations to justify upper managements positions, which they can't support through any real conviction or logic on their parts. They're sounding just like some of the middle managers I've had in my years in the corporate rat race. Which scares me as to who they are working for, and what degree of control do we have as far as their chain of command goes.

2. Upper management always treats

middle management like mushrooms - - keep them
in the dark and feed them plenty of manure.

3. petty bitching and moaning with nothing getting done. Great observation

4. Middle managers who are trying to save their asses...

that is what they sound like to me.

They won't commit, they won't take a stand, they won't criticize upper management...not only that, but they aren't doing their jobs.

5. Whadda ya expect if ya got a BULLY PRESIDENT who is suffering from NPD?

Its not the Dems...they are being portrayed as the Problem...its a Pub Plan...ITS the NEOCONS/PNACers/Fundies/and the PUB MASTERS

This manipulation of the collective minds of America bodes ill for the Nation....

Reason, Truth, and Sanity are being waterboarded.....

6. "Find a way to say yes"

Have heard it many a time from management (probably be hearing it again in, oh, about an hour).
