In the first day of their control of the House the Republicans demonstrated clearly,
and to the embarrassment of their leaders, what are their priorities. Two GOP
Congressmen conducted a fund raiser and forgot to attend the formal swearing-in
ceremony which is required by the Constitution before any legislative business can be done. The omission made all actions of the house invalid, including the selection
as Speaker of Mr. Boehner. The frantic efforts to remedy the situation by in effect back-dating all actions and declaring the missing Congressmen "sworn in" by TV
because they appeared on camera from their fund raiser was more ridiculous than any
farce on The Early Show. The fund raiser was conducted using government property,
which is a crime. If this continues we are in for some ludicrous actions in the grubbing for money and protecting the monied. And guess at whose expense.
They are following this up with the attempt to repeal "Obamacare", an act which will
live in infamy, unmatched for political stupidity, and the damage it will inflict
on generations of the vanishing middle class. If they succeed they will have pulled off the biggest "snow job" in history!
We have met the enemy and HE IS US!

one of the main attributes of mr Boehner is his addiction to golf with its great fund raising opportunities.
Article "House Rules" in the NewYorker of 12/13/10 is a must-read.

Equally as disgusting was the first-ever reading of the Constitution at the opening session and which carefully crafted a completely self-important interpretation. Even that twisted display proved so boring that nearly all members had already left before the reading was concluded.
Clearly the next two years will be amongst the most embarrassing for America.
