Political HumorJoke of the Day


This is what I can't stand about congress especially the house. It is backed up with all this political bs and petty bickering between the parties that for any good to get accomplished it is an exhausted process. They just bicker at one another and blame the other party for everything that goes and act as though they are completely innocent to the whole happenings.

Like here Barney Frank if a freakin' liar. Jon is disappointingly timid in the in interview and kind of calls him out on supporting the mortgage bubble, but Frank gets to go off on his whole speech and delude and dodge the question. I mean come on the guy was head of the finance committee while his party was majority in both houses, don't give me a whiny sob story that the whole situation was out of your control. And further more all the legislation he is talking about that deregulated the financial sector that was passed by the republican congress, it was backed, supported, and approved by President Clinton (a democrat).

I'm not saying that one party is more to blame than the other, or even that it is the government to blame. In my opinion all the players are to blame - the government, the people on wall street, the morons who took the loans they knew they could never pay back. So what I wish is that the people with the power to fix the situation would quit all the childish bickering and finger pointing and do their job or get out of office so someone who can will.
