I don't know what this does to create jobs, and I'm pretty sure there are more pressing issues Congress should be addressing.
So who drew the best cartoon about Congress - John Darkow of the Columbia Daily Tribune, or David Fitzsimmons of the Arizona Daily Star?

Well, since neither cartoon blames Harry Reid and the do-nothing Senate, I vote "None of the Above."
Congress includes both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
These editorial cartoons are especially interesting after the three polls taken over the last week showing a growing trend that US voters believe the Republicans are keeping the economy slow in order to win seats in next year's election. It should prove entertaining to see how this trend is promoted and/or refuted by the parties in their efforts to win/keep majorities in both the House and the Senate.
None of the above ... the House has passed 15 Jobs bills sitting dead in the Senate sooooo ... maybe the problem isn't House Republicans but rather Senate Democrats.....
Well maybe if the repubs would pass job bills that are GOOD for America for a change, they'd get passed in the Senate.
Isn't it interesting that the Republicans claim that the Senate is the problem and that the Senate is "controlled" by the Democrats. WRONG----While it is true that the Democrats have a majority, they are not in "control" since to do anything in the Senate requires a super majority of 60; a number that could only be achieved with the cooperation of the (circa 8) Republicans!!!! A strong and valid argument can be made that the final votes necessary to accomplish something in the Senate must come from Republicans. Ergo, the Republicans are the final determinants of the workings, more to the point non-workings, of the Senate.
