Congressional Job Performance

U.S. President Obama, VP Biden and members of Congress

Congressional approval ratings hit an all time low of 11% this summer. Why? America's never been so bankrupt, in debt and financial chaos and the government is to blame, for looking the other way to corporate behavior that is not only unethical, but very illegal as well.

If members of Congress had jobs in the real world, where one is judged on job performance, not political ties, they'd have all be fired by now. This should be the theme come election time. If you did not perform well for your constituency, you should be voted out to make room for someone who will.

Russian Spy Stripped Of British Citizenship

Russian spy, Anna Chapman, who was deported back to her native homeland, sought to move back to Britain, the home of her ex-husband, where she obtained dual citizenship. The British government has torpedoed Chapman's plans, by revoking her citizenship this week, under the legal premise it is in the best interest of the public to do so.

Once one has been established as a spy, such action was to be expected. Governments generally do not wish to devote national resources to watching an alleged spy, who is a naturalized citizen, when the option of deportation is available.

Not everyone feels the same. Apparently, late night comic, Jay Leno and U.S. Vice President, Joe Biden, jokingly wished to keep pretty Chapman in America and send racist radio talk show host, Rush Limbaugh, to Russia in her place.

Anna Chapman's call to father led to FBI spy arrests

Monday 12 July 2010 - ... the US vice-president, Joe Biden, quipped on a late-night television chat show. Holding up a picture of her, comedian Jay Leno asked the vice-president: "Do we have any spies that hot?" Biden jokingly replied: : "Let me be clear. It wasn't my idea to send her back. I thought maybe they'd take [rightwing polemicist] Rush Limbaugh or something. That would've been a good move."

Joe Biden: We Can't Replace The 8 Million Jobs Lost

Vice President Joe Biden

Last week, Vice President, Joe Biden stated the Obama administration will not be able to replace the 8 million jobs that have been lost during the ongoing financial crisis. Oh, yes you could have. Had you followed the Judiciary Report's job creation plan and had tight controls over how the stimulus money was disbursed, the goal could have been achieved.

However, what the Judiciary Report feared and wrote about in advance, hoping it would not happen, did via government overpaying for jobs. As a result of that government bureaucracy, poor planning and financial misappropriation of taxpayer stimulus finds, less jobs were created. You overpaid for the creation of each job, with money that could have created 3-5 positions (each time), had the project been carefully undertaken. Multiply that by each time it happened and billions were wasted.

America Loses Confidence In Obama

New polls indicate America has lost confidence in President Barack Obama, with his poll numbers dipping to new lows and many newspaper websites questioning the direction of his presidency.

The rising national deficit, trillions in spending and more plans of the same, have shaken the public's confidence. These issues have been exacerbated by the Louisiana oil spill and the president's less than satisfactory handling thereof.
