Democrats forgetting what they criticized

It hasn’t been long since the Democrats were complaining about the excess spending, scandals, corruption, etc., of the Republicans. Wow, what a month it has been.

The Democrats have control of Congress and they can’t book trips on chartered flights fast enough. This week they are all over the globe. Even worse, they take their spouses.

Millions of Americans are out of work, out of money and out of homes, and these idiots are flying high on the hog. President Barack Obama refused an expensive state dinner in Canada to make a point.

We are in a financial bind. We are hurting. The last thing I need to see and read about is Congress picking up where the previous administration left off.

I am so disappointed. Barack Obama was voted into office by the people. We need to support him and help him, and that includes Congress and both parties. The egos need to be put on the back burner.
