So High Above

#1 Today the Commerce Department announced that we are not in a recession. Obviously, the Commerce Department has no clue about what is going on in America. I have been in retail for 35 years and this is the worst I have ever seen, aside from my personal observations, talking with many other small business owners in retail it is a consensus that business is the worst they have ever seen. Not only are we in a recession, but we are most likely on the verge of a major economic Depression (note to McCain Staff: Not a Mental Depression). #2 - In an NPR interview Speaker Pelosi said the reason that the Democrats did not choose to pursue Impeachment of the Bush-Cheney duo was because the Democratic leadership felt that it was more important to pass other legislation to deal with the recession and the energy crisis. Ms. Pelosi, you failed, not only did you not live up to the mandates of the Constitution by Impeaching an Administration that has very obviously committed "high crimes"...

The 110th Congress will again fund the Bush War with another 165 million dollars. The 110th Congress has a majority of Democrats elected under an anti war platform. Under the leadership of Speaker Pelosi, the 100th Congress has failed to live up to any of the campaign promises on which they ran for election. The 110th Congress will go down in History as the most unaccomplished Congress in Modern U.S. History.

The 2006 Elections gave a majority to the Democrats in Congress, although a small majority, it is still a majority with Democrats holdings all the leadership positions in both the House and The Senate. Since the Election of 2006 this Democratic led Congress has not accomplished ANYTHING. The Leadership in the House has blocked all attempts by Committees that were looking into the corruption of this Administration and has stifled any Congressman who even mentioned impeachment. If we accept the premise that hearings, indictments and impeachments would have been destructive, then this should have left time for initiative, innovation, and leadership, however, this too has failed to materialize. Truman's Congress of the late 40's was nicknamed "The Do Nothing Congress", but I think that the 109 th Congress, the present Congress, has now made the 80 th Congress look like the most prolific Congress the US has ever seen. Exactly what has this Congress been working on? Durin...

As the Senate played word games with General David Petraeus and Ryan Crocker , the U.S. ambassador to Baghdad, the news on the home front continued to be bleak. Oil Prices rose to another record and the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration predicted that summer gasoline prices in the US will average $3.60 per gallon and peak at around $4.00 per gallon. Iran, an OPEC member wants to eliminate the US Dollar as the key currency for oil. Food prices continue to rise, with the rice now hitting another all time high and doubling in a year. The price of rice in and of itself will not have an immediate drastic affect on the American food supply but it is an indicator of where worldwide food prices are heading, and that will drastically affect the prices on Americans. Housing sales continue to slump. Consumers are staying hunkered down and sales are slow throughout retail. Congress still refuses to act with the Democratic leadership still wallowing without direction. The P...
