House adjourns for year

[DISUNC]

The gavel has come down on the 110th Congress, with the House adjourning until Jan. 3, 2009.

The chamber could still reconvene if there's a need, but at this point, the next time Nancy Pelosi sits in the speaker's chair, there will be a new president-elect and dozens of new House members from both parties will be sworn in.

The Senate is coming back Nov. 17 for a lame-duck session to try to dislodge a handful of noncontroversial bills being blocked by Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn

Just how many members of the House of Representatives are you planning on voting for (against)? I only have one, and I am not happy he voted no today, probably because he is facing a challenger who would have used a yes vote against him!

Howard Coble lost my vote today.

Lame! That's a perfect term for the 110th Congress. Our rep ran unopposed. I hope someone runs against him the next time and beats the tar out of him.

Congress works when the eyes of the country are on them-no wonder they spend all of their time working to be re elected instead of working for us!

You and me both.

If only they were as productive as the American worker, just think of all the thing they could accomplish........

or mess up.
