Even more uneasy

I watched Majority Leader Boehner on Fox News yesterday morning to get a sense of where the man thinks Congressional Republicans need to go and how he thinks they can get there.

I'm even more uneasy now than I was before. It's not even so much what he said, but how he said it. I look at the words, and I don't have a reason to be uneasy. Yet I sat there feeling like I needed a shower when he was done.

He didn't convince me at all.

A note on Congressman Shadegg: I wish I'd remembered this while the race was on. Goes to his bonafide's as a fiscal conservative. Roughly a year ago Shadegg took a lot of heat for refusing to earmark funds in the Highway Bill for improvements at I-17 & Happy Valley Rd:

Shadegg and fellow Arizona Rep. Jeff Flake, refused to earmark Federal funds for this because they felt it was a typical pork project:He and Flake argue that this money is too often allocated for questionable projects based on political influence rather than the needs of the country as a whole. Shadegg has called the bill a "pork-stuffed budget-buster that shortchanges Arizona.

"Meanwhile, city officials were under the impression that Shadegg had agreed to fight for money and funnel any he 'won' to this project. The result is a couple of angry City Council members and some aggravated area-residents who want to see the project completed sooner and not later.

Some in Congress talk the talk and others walk the walk. I think we blew it.
