Congress doing nothing; Obama in over his head!

The news as I see it and the views as I want them.
July 26 is … All Or Nothing Day

What a choice. Congress gets to choose between all and damn the cost or all and damn the taxpayer.

Good luck to my son, Ross. He is sitting for the bar exam in Indiana today and tomorrow. He will do just fine, I am sure.

Speaking of the out of control Congress, another member of Congress is showing how proud he is of his penis. This piece of work decided to show off to a teenager 38 years younger than he is. Congressman David Wu is facing calls for his resignation over a young woman's reported accusation that she had an "unwanted sexual encounter" with the Democrat three weeks after his election victory in November.

The seven-term Democrat had a telephone conversation on Saturday with House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi about the allegation, said Wu spokesman Erik Dorey. He would not comment on the substance of their talk. An aide to Pelosi declined Saturday to comment on Wu, who earlier this year apologized for bizarre behavior during his most recent re-election campaign. Gee, I wonder what they discussed? Probably was not the debt crisis.

The allegation – which was first reported by The Oregonian newspaper – seemed to be boiling into yet another sex scandal confronting a member of Congress. It comes a month after Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., stepped down after getting caught sending suggestive pictures of himself on his Twitter account. Late Friday, the 56-year-old Wu issued a one-sentence statement about The Oregonian's report: "This is very serious, and I have absolutely no desire to bring unwanted publicity, attention or stress to a young woman and her family." Pressure was building on Wu to publicly address the allegation. There were also calls for his resignation. Show pride in yourself and not just in your red-headed brother, resign or commit suicide.

"I'm saddened to hear this news. David owes the citizens he represents a detailed explanation," said State Rep. Brad Witt, who is running against Wu in the Democratic primary next spring. "If this accusation proves to be true, it's time for David Wu to resign and get the help he needs." Another challenger of Wu in the Democratic primary, state Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian, said Saturday Wu should resign immediately. "I think any 56-year-old man, especially a 56-year-old Congressman, that asserts himself like this on an 18-year-old girl, has got no business serving in Congress," Avakian said at a news conference. "There is nothing that can be explained that makes this situation right. He's got to resign."

The authorities in Norway are having a problem counting the dead from last week’s tragic attack by the lone local man. I heard the reports say 94 were dead, then 77 were dead, then 68 were dead and then 73 were dead. Apparently the island location for the more brutal portion of the attack is isolated and the terrain is hard to search. The final death toll will only govern our shock, misery and disgust for the barbaric human that did the killing. He will face 21 years in prison regardless of the death toll he caused.


 Just a couple of thoughts I had and you should too.
