I Don't Really Know, but I Do Know...

I Don't Really Know, but I Do Know...
Politics--so complicated, yet so simple...so much I don't understand, yet there's so much that seems crystal clear.  I want so badly to open up my computer and peck away at my keyboard, expressing my innermost thoughts and opinions about everything I can comprehend that's happening on Capitol Hill, but I'm really afraid that people will think that I think I actually know what I'm talking about.  I really do not want people to have that perception at all, being that I have no clue what's really going on!  However, I am in dire need to express what I was able to observe while watching a congressional hearing (this is probably not exactly what this particular event might be formally called) on C-Span on June 5, 2013.

Now again, I am totally oblivious to what's really going on politically, but I suppose I haphazardly pay attention to political broadcasts on television, and in doing so, even in the way that I do, some of the pieces begin to come together in a way that makes me tremendously grateful to be a television owner.  As I can understand, in Congressional hearings, a subject or particular order of business is introduced to the representatives in the House, and then with a much more eloquently implemented protocol than I am able to describe here, the representatives have an opportunity to verbally express whatever it is that they and their staff's have put together in regards to the subject or order of business that has been introduced.  On June 5, 2013, while observing a particular hearing, I felt like a huge part of our country's problem was revealed to me in the form of people like Congressman Phil Gingrey of Georgia's 11th district. 

Yes, as a member of the Republican party, this guy, as it seems nowadays, has been mechanically wired and programmed to "throw rocks at the throne" every chance he gets.  And yes this is apart of a narrative that has carried on since the beginning of Big O's first term.  However, let this be known as an ETURNAL EXPRESSIONJUST DO YOUR DAMN JOB

I totally understand the concept of "checks and balances" between the three branches of government, but to quote one of ESPN's most popular phrases...Come On Man!  This is one of the House's routine sessions, and all you're required to do is simply pay attention to what's going on, and when you have the opportunity, present what you have to contribute to whatever subject is introduced by the dude in the front of the room.  But no...not Phil Gingrey.  Phil Gingrey can't simply present what he has and sit his ass down.  Phil Gingrey has to go out of his way to try to knock points off of the Administration.  What the hell, really, does this weird looking asshole think he's getting out of doing that?  He's obviously not a good polititian, because a good polititian would consider his political future and find ways to get the President's attention and share with him his perspective of the issue since he thinks it's something the Administration is neglecting to consider or even implement.  But...as I have mentioned...I have no clue what's really going on politically!  So...

All I do know is that the country would be substantially more productive if people like Phil Gingrey would JUST DO THEIR DAMN JOB!
P.E.A.C.E.
