Rachel Maddow Bids A Fond Farewell To The Least Productive Congress In U.S. History



VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/rachel-maddow-bids-a-fond-farewell-to-the-least-productive-congress-in-u-s-history/


Rachel Maddow tonight took a brief trip down memory lane to remind viewers of how much (or little) got accomplished in the last two years in Congress since Republicans took control of the House and installed John Boehner as speaker. Bringing up the fact that the GOP-led House had to very publicly disband their own rules, Maddow all but breathed a sigh of relief at the prospect of moving on from a distinctively unproductive Congress.

-snip-

Maddow brought up the fact that the 112th Congress is now considered the least productive in American history and was in power during its lowest recorded point of popularity ever. Maddow bade farewell to many of the departing Republicans and Democrats, while hailing the diversity of this next Congress, whose work has just begun.

Bachmann already introduced he revoke obamacare for this session on the first day (wonder if they will introduce it more than 33 times this group?)
