“We don’t want (Blagojevich) to short-circuit the will and the wisdom of the state of Illinois,” Rush told FOXNews.com, after holding a press conference in Chicago announcing his petition drive for the governor to name a black candidate.
“As we speak, there are no African Americans in the Senate. (Blagojevich) has the power to put one [...]

People pretty much tend to blame employment, or lack thereof, on the President. However, economic policy and spending comes from Congress. Sure, the Senate has some input, but what gets voted on is purely the Speaker of the House’s prerogative. So, I tend to look at the politics of it all a little different. I [...]

Realizing that her very public message that Democrats never had anything to do with the finance meltdown regardless of the fact their legislation and policies OBVIOUSLY caused it to the point even Bill Clinton personally accepted some blame, Nancy’s got a new gig:
“Elect us, hold us accountable, and make a judgment and then go from [...]

In her speech to rally the troops to vote for the Rescue package, Nancy Pelosi accepted no responsibility for past actions by either herself or any member of her party. She put the entire blame on a situation that has festered for thirty years solely on Republicans. And, then, to top it off, gave a [...]

In a move that surprised me, the bailout bill was voted down in Congress. It was fairly close, 228-205 I think it was. In order to get it back on track, some media are saying Pelosi expects nine Republicans to change their votes for a re-consideration. This is how she’s motivating the Republicans:
Now, slap me [...]

Now, according to what I’m reading, Nancy Pelosi has agreed to consider an off-shore drilling proposal presented by Democrats. I’m sure she’ll tout this as a major new idea and an example of the failed economic policies of Bush.
However, it’s got thorns attached. From what I’m reading, and I’ve not read the actual proposals:
No Gulf [...]

I’m sure Nancy Pelosi has given the “Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are yet another example of the failed Policies of George Bush”. Haven’t seen it in print, but I’m sure she’s just figuring the time and place to say it. Everything that happens, according to her and Harry Reid, are Bush’s fault. But, what [...]

Apparently smarting from polls that put his Senate leadership in the single digits, Harry Reid decided to fight back starting with this letter to The Hill Blog:
When our country is in crisis, Congress must be ready to take immediate action. Democrats in Congress have tried to take action again and again. We have proposed both [...]

Barack Obama’s having a rough week.
First, he did the very odd thing of stating very publicly he liked President Bush’s Faith Based Initiative so much he wanted to expand it. That drew the ire of the Reverend Jesse Jackson:
“See, Barack’s been talking down to black people on this faith-based—,” Jackson says during a break in [...]

The jam we’re in right now was put in place thirty years ago. In that time, we’ve gone from being an energy exporter to an energy junkie. It really doesn’t matter where we get our hit, so long as we don’t have to accept any responsibility for it. For instance:
Oil - The Democrats absolutely refuse [...]
