Role Models in the American Work Ethic

'House Majority Leader Eric Cantor released the 2012 House calendar today, and lawmakers will be spending even less time in Washington next year than they did this year'.

'There are just six scheduled working days in January. Three in August. And five in October. In all, the House of Representatives is scheduled to be in session 109 weekdays next year, and will be in recess 151 weekdays - meaning recess days will outstrip working days by nearly a 3 to 2 margin'.

And before all of you respond with 'The Campaigner in  Chief' come backs, show me in the Constitution  where the President Of The United Statges can pass legislation or spend a single penny.

And for all of the 'well he is the leader' :

'“Obama is on the ropes; why do we appear ready to hand him a win?” said one senior House Republican aide who requested anonymity to discuss the matter freely'.

If someone won't work with you, only a fool would keep trying to work with them. Guess that's why he is campaigning AGAINST Congress. A Congress that is SO popular :

'Congress' New Approval Rating Low: 9%'

Maybe that's why they don't want to work.

How much do we pay them again?

'The current salary (2011) for rank-and-file members of the House and Senate is $174,000 per year'.
From : http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/uscongress/a/congresspay.htm

Who's is more stupid? Them for not working? Or us for voting for them?
