Happy New Year....
Let's get the New Year off to a good start and replace Harry Reid (Senate Majority Leader) with someone with brains, backbone, and a better sense of what "majority" means.
Can this guy do anything right?
In 2006 the country supported Democrats who pledged to end the war in Iraq. So what did Reid do with this majority in the Senate and anti-war sentiment in the country? He let the Republicans call the shots, backed down when they threatened to filibuster any bill that would end funding for the war, or set a time table for withdrawal.
Time and time again, on important legislation, he has been out maneuvered by the Republican minority, resulting in watered down legislation, or no legislation at all.
Now, along comes Roland Burris and the Obama Senate seat. Regardless of how you feel about Gov. Blagojevich, he is still the governor and has the powers and responsibilities that come with that office. He legally appointed Burris to fill that seat until an election in 2010. But Harry Reid says, oh no, he won't recognize the credentials of anyone appointed by Blogo...
That set up the scene yesterday in from of the Capital, Burris, standing in the rain, telling the press that Reid refused to seat him, but he was going to fight for the seat that is legally his....
Now, this morning, the AP is reporting that Reid has changed his mind and will seat Burris....or has he?
Regardless, the Republican minority has once again made the Democrats are look like fools and Harry Reid is wearing the dunce hat again....this guy has got to go if Obama is to have any hope of getting a stimulus plan, or any major piece of legislation, passed.
