Our spineless congress.


Lawrence Wilkerson thinks this is the most spineless congress
he has seen in 65 years and I tend to agree.
"We could have less feckless leadership in
the Congress in terms of oversight,"
Wilkerson said. "And I'm not just talking
about the Select Committees in the House and
the Senate for Intelligence. I' talking
about the leadership in the Congress.

"This has been the most feckless Congress
ever since 2000 that I've seen in my 65
years," Wilkerson added. "I just don't think
there's leadership over there. It's
spineless, it lacks courage, lacks political
will.

He continued: "I shudder for the fact that
we've got to face these economic and
financial challenges we\u2019ve got to face
- Iran, Afghanistan, North Korea and other
things - and we don't have a Congress that
has any leadership."
Not surprising though. It's what you get when you elect weaselly
Ivy League lawyers and Wall Street stooges. It's the best
money can buy. Or the banksters are will to spend on.
