Bush Bashes Congress on Productivity

President Bush, in his press conference today, put the smackdown on a Congress that spends more time on oversight than on legislating.

“As a matter of fact, I would hope Congress would become more prone to deliver pieces of legislation that matter as opposed to being the investigative body,” Bush told reporters. “I mean, there have been over 600 different hearings, and yet they’re struggling with getting appropriations bills to my desk.”

The administration in recent weeks has made a point of noting how much effort the Democratic majority spends on oversight.

The Democratic Congress does seem a tad obsessed with finding a scandal or smoking gun of wrongdoing.

What happened to all that stuff that was supposed to happen in the 100 hours?
