Decision Making Process of the 110th Congress?

After reading the resolution for the Armenian Genocide I am very concerned about the priorities of this Congress. Why on earth are we submitting a resolution to condemn the Ottoman Empire that does nothing more than summarize all the public “Government” times and events we have made in the past? This is the most redundant doent I have ever seen. It’s wasted time and energy that, for the most part, could not have been submitted at the most unnecessary time in our history. The leadership of this Congress needs some serious training on priorities and the decision making process. Put this aside and concentrate on SCHIPs and compromise the increase for an active program that still needs to enroll the two thirds of Americans that are currently available for the program. Every single district of this country is represented in Congress and rather than knowingly submit to the President something that won’t p get out to their districts and identify the people who currently need the program and are not enrolled. I would think that if they were genuinely concerned about Americans who need health care that is where to start. Everyone knows that in the end a compromise will be made on the program, so let’s just get it done without the theatrics. Then, we can collectively come to an intelligent and bi-partisan way to protect our boarders. Don’t you think that should be in place when the troops in Afghanistan and Iraq begin coming home? Wow, does it take a dumb old enlisted military retiree like me to see the shortcomings of our government’s legislative leadership?
