Two weeks ago, the president signed a stop-gap spending bill to keep the government running for another few weeks. He then assigned Joe Biden to ride herd on Congress to get a new spending bill passed. Biden immediately accepted the assignment and then boarded a plane to Russia. So much for leadership from the White House.<\/p>\n
Now we’re looking at another stop-gap measure because the last one is expiring.<\/p>\n

They certainly can’t claim they’re too busy with foreign policy issues since they’ve lost Libya and dithered long enough for the Gulf States to form a mercenary army to put down revolutions there.<\/p>\n Republicans in Congress are proving themselves to be the same types of boobs as the Pelosi crowd.
