Good on Obama for not calling Congress back from vacation.

[European Socialist]

I Haven't had much good to say about our President lately, but I will give him credit for not calling back those rats from hell Repukes. I can't see any emergency where their presence would do any good, unless the solution was more tax cuts for the rich. We will see enough of their snarly faces in the weeks to come.

2. Who needs Congress?

We have the Comintern - er..sorry..the Committee of Twelve. Hey, a dozen guys in a room worked for Jesus. Of course, we also have that Henry Fonda, Lee J. Cobb movie..what was it called?

4. Is this Committee on vacation too?

3. What would that actually achieve? Congress don't get anything done when in session

5. I swear, they get more vacations than the French and they don't do shit.

And they get paid a fortune.

6. I seem to hear "Why are they on vacation? We need jobs" a lot.

Which I like to hear.

Anger is a gift.

7. Oh, I dunno ... standing on principle might be a nice change for him ...

... you know, getting "the people's work" done and all that? :shrug:

8. Can't call Congress back when your headed to your own

vacation in the Hamptons. That would be tacky.

[Bluenorthwest]

9. The whole of DC elite are on vacation

The idea of not taking lavish vacations would not even cross their minds.
