Houston Chronicle Yanks Ted Cruz Endorsement
http://thinkprogress.org/politic…“Does anyone else miss Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison?,” The Houston Chronicle’s opinion page asks. “One reason we particularly believe that Hutchison would make a difference in these hectic days is that if she had kept her seat, Cruz would not be in the Senate”:
When we endorsed Ted Cruz in last November’s general election, we did so with many reservations and at least one specific recommendation – that he follow Hutchison’s example in his conduct as a senator.
Obviously, he has not done so. Cruz has been part of the problem in specific situations where Hutchison would have been part of the solution.
We feel certain she would have worked shoulder to shoulder with Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, in crafting a workable solution that likely would have avoided the government shutdown altogether.

Reckon it's time you good people of the United States just split in two. Rational and clear thinking people in the north and shove the rest in the south and create two new countries.

Shutdown theater.
http://freebeacon.com/shutdown-t…
this find funny. cant tweet. ->
"The government shutdown has forced Obama to make do with only a quarter of his 1,701 person staff. That would leave 436 “vital” employees. The 90 people who look after his living quarters would be slashed to 15 to “provide minimum maintenance and support”.
Buckingham Palace, which is twelve times the size of the White House and has its own clockmaker, only has an 800 person staff. King Harald V of Norway and his court make do with 152 staffers. King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden gets by with 203.
On Twitter, Michelle Obama announced that she is unable to Tweet on her own without the aid of all of her sixteen assistants; many of whom take home six figure salaries. There are more directors, associate directors and deputy associate directors on Michelle Obama’s staff than there were in George Washington’s entire administration.
Presidents have fought wars and made peace, explored and annexed vast territories and built a nation out of a handful of colonies with fewer senior staffers than are needed to handle Michelle Obama’s Twitter account."

Are you highlighting that Obama is doing better by the American public than the entire house of representatives as they aren't taking a pay cut? cause if so that's a good thing yes. Obama wirks with a greatly reduced staff while both the republicans and democrat senators? still get full pay at least Obama is thinking along the right lines.
- Obama is as terrible or worst than bush... He is pushover to bankers, corp. exact opposite of his promises. peoples prez my arse.yurimon

So is this just coincidence or does Wall Street want to crash the economy?

Cruz's connections to Goldman Sachs go beyond the fact that it's one of his biggest donor bases. Much of his personal wealth is tied to the financial firm as well. Cruz's wife, Heidi Nelson Cruz, is a vice president at Goldman.
