What some might call pandering, others call…stewardship?
real political courage and leadership on display to expand the entitlement program even further in California. That’s real stewardship of the public trust and treasure right there

Sheila Jackson Lee is usually much quicker, maybe she’s just getting tired http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/house/171807-sheila-jackson-lee-suggests-congress-complicating-debt-ceiling-because-obama-is-black memories are pretty short apparently when it comes to the disrespect that previous presidents have been shown in difficult negotiations.
