400 investigations and no spending bills

Some guy has an article on Opinion Journal titled: "A failure to lead - The Democratic Congress is more interested in acting out than in taking positive action"

This week is the one-year anniversary of Democrats winning Congress. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid probably aren't in a celebrating mood. The goodwill they enjoyed after their victory is gone. Their bright campaign promises are unfulfilled. Democratic leadership is in disarray. And Congress's approval rating has fallen to its lowest point in history.

The problems the Democrats are now experiencing begin with the federal budget. Or rather, the lack of one. In 2006, Democrats criticized Congress for dragging its feet on the budget and pledged that they would do better. Instead, they did worse. The new fiscal year started Oct. 1--five weeks ago--but Democrats have yet to send the president a single annual appropriations bill. It's been at least 20 years since Congress has gone this late in passing any appropriation bills, an indication of the mess the Pelosi-Reid Congress is now in.
But what about all the roll call votes? And renamed post offices? That's something.

I'm pretty sure San Fran Nan will call this 'the most productive, ethical, transparent Congress in history." Of course, she's been delusional before this.
