Speaking of Obama,

he came out "swinging" against the GOP in his usual milquetoast fashion, telling the Party of No it isn't doing anything about the jobs crisis.

And the GOP isn't, but the Democrats aren't doing much, either. It's more important to take an obscene amount of vacation time throughout August and part of September, "work" two or three weeks, then take off almost the entire month of October in time for the election than it is to do the people's business.

I hear very little talk about adding "Tier V" UI from anyplace now. That may be as a result of Congress's "vacation," but it may be that many people see the handwriting on the wall that our elected officials do not give a shit whether we who are unemployed live or die.
