True. But he made it better, stronger and didn't abuse it. He also beat Newt into submission.

Yesterday the House went home leaving 4,000 FAA employees, and 90,000 civilian contractors unemployed. I hope the Senate did something today day before they left, but I don't know if they can do it without the House.

I give Speaker Boehner credit for adding 94,000 to the unemployed just yesterday, by literally simply ignoring them and not being able to multi-task. Yay, debt ceiling! While 94,000 wish they had paycheck this week. Oh, but the House has it's month vacation. These current building projects - runways, safety improvements - may not get finished by this winter now, either. But hey, the House is tired from all it's arguing over nothing - they cut out of Washington before the Senate voted this morning.

That's a rotten, bald exposure of how important this whole debt-ceiling-fake-dog-and-pony-show-created false "disaster" was, while real Americans are idle, furloughed, while the House lays back. Disgusting.

And if the media in this country had any journalistic integrity or balls, they'd be mentioned every single night on the evening news, "Day 14 of the FAA furlough, Congress won't be back for another three weeks ... " and interviewing live every FAA and private construction employee they can.
