re: #52 allegro

I’m not convinced of that result. The shit-storm certainly but so what? The tea nutters are always ready to throw tantrums so let ‘em. This issue has gained so much traction in the MSM that most people are aware of what’s going on and as we’re seeing in poll examples above from engineer dog the majority is clearly behind resolution. I think Obama’s popularity would increase considerably if he took this action and any impeachment efforts would just make the GOP look ever more stupid.

Obama should let the clock run out, then address the nation and tell them that by Executive Order, he is placing the pay of all members of Congress into an escrow fund that will be sent to each rep’s home district to help those districts pay their bills, and no member of Congress will see a dime of pay until they get real and straighten this out. Then announce that he’s ready to defend himself against any legal action the opposition will take.

2012 would see a landslide that would dwarf Reagan-Mondale.
