First of all, I caution you to keep the title of this blog in mind. My view is indeed, from the cheap seats; those being the seats that offer the least clear view of what is actually going on. I say this because I am writing from what I think is going on, not what I know is going on.
Having said that, Nancy Pelosi must go.
Every since she has taken over the position of Speaker of the House, the reputation of Congress has dropped below the Mendoza line of political polling.
She got caught lying about her knowledge with regards to torturing. You could see it in her eyes as she flailed around on television, trying to spin it away from her and onto someone else.
There is a reason that congress can't get anything done. Actually there are two. First, the GOP has no interest in helping a Democratic party achieve any of its goals, even if that means the American public suffers as a result. Secondly, The Speaker of the House has been unable to work around this. In fact, I think she is the reason the GOP is so stuck in its tired "do nothing" mode. Who wants to help a person that has belittled them and bullied them at every opportunity.
As long as she is in charge, nothing will get done.
Here is my challenge to you. Watch her on television. Read her interviews. Look for the bully. Look for the blaming. Look for the inaction. You will find all of these every time.
