Anyone watching C-Span?!

[vaberella]

I can't take this meeting seriously. There are some Dems here..but Dems are being lambasted and this process is being lambasted by these Repubs and no one knows the laws. No one knows if it's constitutional. Waxman is weak here and Levin...oy.

I can tell you this right now. Without the President, the Dems, naturally are weak. I tried to see what was and always is the problem with Dems in Congress. They are weak unless they have the support of the President. If the President does nothing for them, they are cannot hold their own. It's disturbing. Even the Dems here don't know half of proper procedure, they aren't explaining parts of the bill. One of them couldn't even start the mike before I took a nap. One of them, when I woke up, is mumbling through this. And the Republicans are dominating when they have nothing to dominate with.

And what kills me. Is that they are naturally supposed to be STRONG. With or without the President. So I'm not trying to put this on Obama at all. I just realize these fools (maybe excluding Grayson, Sanders, and Franke --they could intellectually argue their way out of things) can't do crap. They have power, they have influence and they can't do anything. In effect, Obama is working with a massive ineffective limb. I'm just appalled.

I get the feeling. We would all be more successful if everyone in congress was just Obama. Like multiple copies of him because otherwise...shit is awful. So far thank you Rep. Alcee Hastings----he's great. <---Thank you.

Congressional Committee is a joke. Fuck this.

1. All I hear is a bunch of shouting back and forth.

I agree with you, Hastings was great.

You would think that the Republicans were in the majority the way they manipulate all the time.

I don't think I can watch much more of this. Ugh.

It's a nice day here. I'm going out.

2. It just finished, thankfully or their own break---since they said something about going to vote. n/t

3. They'll be back after the vote.

4. I watched on and off; CSPAN2

by the way, for those interested, back after the round of votes. I saw Hastings comments about "how (he hell - not said, but implied) do you know what he Amrican people want" and though I generally do not like him I started yelling BRAVO at the TV :blush:

[vaberella]

5. That's my favorite part too. n/t

10. That is one thing that irritates me so much...

when I watch them go on show after show and say "The American people don't want this bill!" They don't even know or relate to the American people.

[mucifer]

11. a stupid statement on either side. There are a variety of opinions from Americans.

We aren't one person.


Drives me nuts when anyone says "The American People want..."

[Inuca]

6. For those interested - they are back! n/t

[vaberella]

8. I'm loving this. It's hilarious. n/t

7. Just started watching C-Span 1

and after watching a bit and having watched LOTS of C-Span throughout the whole HCR hearings, with very few exceptions, I shake my head at the majority of House members.

9. I'm watching cspan 2 and...

henserling and sessions are angry about the CBO reports and Drier doesn't want the Dems to talk about what they did in previous years. Sessions said he will take care of the Dems when they win in November...

12. I would much rather see them all be copies of Grayson than Obama, who has

proved himself to be nothing more than a tool of the rich and powerful.

[patrice]

13. yes & yes they are. Some of them are more stupid than we are. I'm pretty tired of them.
