House Republicans are failing Americans in their effort to kill Obamacare

By Editorial Board, Published: October 1
AMERICANS’ RESPECT for their Congress has, sad to say, diminished in recent years. But citizens still expect a minimal level of competence and responsibility: Pay the bills and try not to embarrass us in front of the world.

By those minimal standards, this Congress is failing. More specifically, the Republican leaders of the House of Representatives are failing. They should fulfill their basic duties to the American people or make way for legislators who will.

1. Amazon.com owns WaPo now.

It is yet to be seen what will really come from them being owned by a job killing entity.

4. Not quite

THe guy who owns Amazon (or got way too rich from it) bought the Post. It is not part of Amazon in any meaningful way.

5. You mean the Libertarian CEO of the Walmart of online promised to not use WaPo to their advantage?

I feel so much better.

3. I dont like the headline,"House Republicans are failing Americans in their effort to kill Obamacare"

Sounds like the author is disappointed, not because the are failing to run the government, but because they cant kill Obamacare.

7. Should have stopped with 'House Republicans Are Failing'.

They got an earful. (Enough to possibly make a sell-out "journalist" feel like vomiting.)

11. Jeff Bezos (founder of Amazon) bought it.

I know he strongly backs gay marriage. No clue about his political philosophy overall.
