Enough Already: Seat Al Franken In The Senate

America has enough of the Republican nonsense over who gets the Minnesota Senator's seat. The Republican's never cease to be obstructionists, and don't give a damn about the people. Al Franken has been clearly declared the winner. However, it is a Republican ploy to keep Franken from taking his rightful place in the Senate.

Franken is the key to 60 votes on the Democratic side and the Republican's know it . They can not afford to to seat him because he is a swing vote for the Democrats. Consequently, they use every whine in the Republican playbook to keep Al Franken in a limbo state.

Let Franken Be Seated In The Senate
Let the Senate have some "balls" and seat Franken. The senate has already locked Coleman's office doors and the Senate rules committee has declared his term "expired" and dropped his name from the Senate phone book. The Republicans will puff, scream and challenge,but let the Senate act responsibly and seat Al Franken. It is the right thing to do. The Republicans are always sore losers when they don't get what they want. They simply use obstructionist delaying tactics.

At Last A President Who Rolls Up His Shirt Sleeves And Works For The Nation

The Bush dress code in the Oval Office was all show and no substance. Andrew Card, former Chief of Staff to Bush took aim at President Obama, chastizing him because he works with his coat off and in his shirt sleeves . Card voices his opinion vociferously. Is this something we should be concerned about in our president, or even commenting on? Is this the best the Republicans can do?

Now Card is presumably the Fashion Police of the White House and tries to set the dress code in Obama's White House through innunedos. Card twists this respect shit all out of place. So George Bush wore a suit and tie in respect for the office. However, did not respect the office and the people who sent him there issuing dangerous world policies and led us into two wars. The American economy is in shambles and we are in a major fight a to survive the onslaught of a Republican based depression. Where is the respect for the Oval Office from Bush since he brought all this "doom and gloom" on the American people, and old Andy Card dressed to the hilt was standing right beside George Bush. Such hypocracy!

So what, if Obama takes off his jacket and works in his shirt sleeves. Isn't that the type of President we want. Forget the dress code, it is pure snob bullshit anyway. It's nice to see our president hard at work and is comfortable doing it. Andrew Card take your out of place, unsavory comments and shove them. We have a working president...not a fashion plate in the Oval Office. A jacket cannot cover a multitude of political mistakes in the Oval Office.
