Promises Ain't Enough

Says Pelosi....

"The first 100 hours was just a beginning. In the first 100 days, we addressed the most pressing issue of our time – the war in Iraq. And on other immediate challenges, where there had been a failure to act, this Congress stood up for the American people." 1

Says Reid.....

"The American people called for us to put partisanship aside in pursuit of common ground, to bring accountability back to government and most importantly to change course in Iraq. This Congress has heard that call. We are well on our way to delivering a government as good and honest as the people it serves." 2

Says Donkey.....

Really????

Well first of all Nancy, if Iraq was the most "pressing" matter, then why was it not addressed in the first 100 hours? Huh. And why is the legislation that you finally got around to passing still sitting on the to do pile while you are on vacation. Exactly. Harry, "good and honest"? Thanks for the laugh.

"As congressional Democrats prepare to celebrate their first 100 days in the majority, they boast that they have worked more hours, passed more bills and held more oversight hearings than Republicans did when they were in charge.

But when it comes to how many of their top legislative priorities have become law, a different number stands out: 0. None of the six bills that House Democrats passed in their initial legislative juggernaut have made it to the president's desk." 3

Says Hall and Oates.....

"But words can only prove so much. If a promise ain't enough." 4
