Another Republican with no idea what he's going to do to fix the economy. He says "We have to go through everything". I mean did the younger Quayle some how forget that members of the house only serve two years at a time. How long does he think they have to keep their "Pledge to America"?

House GOP to move this week on health care repeal – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs

This is a impossible move and the Republicans know it. They have no other plan to replace the current legislation, but yet they do not like it. Of course insurance premiums went up, they have been going up for years now, but since insurance companies spent so much money opposing this legislation they almost have to raise premiums.

with the economy the way it is, and millions out of work, this Congress plans to spend its first 2 years trying to repeal a law they know they cannot.

Why they cannot you ask? Because Democrats are still in control of the Senate. Republicans may be able to repeal the legislation(law) in the house, but the repeal will die in the Senate. If by some fluke it does get through the Senate(which it will not) President Obama, will veto the repeal. Republicans know this, but they have no plan to boost the economy or create jobs, so they plan on spending their time acting like their working, but nothing will be accomplished. Republicans need a 2/3 majority in the house to overturn a veto, and guess what......... They do not have a 2/3 majority

Before birther row, Lt. Col. Lakin racked up medals as flight surgeon - CNN.com

This is a shame. Is it this much of a problem that our President is black? This man gave up his entire career for something as far fetch as being abducted by aliens while he slept. America is simply not ready to be part of the world community. It's people like this who is making our country look like a paper tiger, for the world looking at us from the outside. He was found guilty and sentenced to 6 months in military prison and strip of his pension, and kicked out the military after 18 years of honorable service. Being that he was just two ranks below a general, this is a terrible loss of a good man, who was blinded by terrible, and unpatriotic patriots.

Spitzer presses Paul for specific cuts

What a Joke!!! No answers except no cut in medicare of medicad, which if I might add are "GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE ENTITIES"!!! But he ran on a platform of less government...

CNN: Anderson Cooper asks Michele Bachman about budget cuts

Why do they continue to lie? This woman has no idea or any kind of plan how to fix our economic issues.

She can't even answer one simple question, but these are the people who are in control of the house...... What a shame

South Bend Tribune: 100 Black Men throws gala

This is a great thing for the South Bend community, but alas if you read the comments you can see the division of races within this community. And this mirrors what I feel as the mood in this country.
