yep, it's on hold now. thanks, congress. and this scenario is being repeated thousands of times across this country. what else will be held up, due to a small group of angry republicans, throwing a temper tantrum cause they can't get their way?

Here's one of 3 emails i got today from my repuke bud...

SAD.....BUT, TRUE!
The Eagle Is Gone!

The skunk has replaced the Eagle as the new symbol of the American Presidency. It is half black, half white, and everything it does stinks.
It is said that: If you give a man a fish you will feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish you feed him for a lifetime!
New Obama Proverb: If you give a man hope of getting a job, he will vote Democrat for a year! If you give a man a welfare check, a free cell phone, free internet, food stamps, section 8 housing, free contraceptives, ninety-nine weeks of unemployment, free health care and free medicine... He will vote Democrat the rest of his life and several more times after he's dead.

i know i heard some people saying on the news that they blame the administration as much as congress for the shutdown...but how can that be?
i guess they don't understand the process on things like the debt ceiling. this is congresses baby, not the presidents.
and now i'm seeing stuff about boehner emails being leaked. they say he said one thing publically, another privately-so why leak them? we all know that pols are liars and hypocrites!!
