Dems Hard At Work or Hardly Working? Looking On the Bright Side
Democrats were supposed to bring, among other things, a new work ethic to Washington after they took over in 2006. As most things Dem, it was a pure sham:
After taking control of the House in 2006, Democrats said lawmakers would work four or five days a week to bring change to America. But the Politico's Jake Sherman reports on October 7, 2009 that midway through President Obama's first year in office, the House, "has settled into a more leisurely routine. Members usually arrive for the first vote of the week as the sun sets on Tuesdays — and they're usually headed back home before it goes down again on Thursdays."
Some aren't really upset at this latest Democrat breach of trust with the American people.
Missouri Republican Congressman Roy Blunt looks on the bright side: "Two and a half days a week is plenty of time to consider the ideas coming out of this Democrat-led House. Imagine the damage they could do with five-day workweeks."
Anything, anything at all, to keep the Wicked Witch of the West away from the gavel.
