You first, No, you first. No, you first......
A nice symmetry of guaranteed paralysis.
In Obama's regular Saturday radio message, he urged Congress to change the "No Child Left Behind" law, to leave more room for local-level reforms. Good idea, but it ain't gonna happen. Congress never changes any laws unless the change allows Goldman Sachs to steal a trillion extra dollars from Americans. If Obama really thought this was important, he could order the Dept of Ed to fix the regulations.
In Kay Bailey Hutchison's "response", she urged the President to make offshore drilling easier. Good idea, but it ain't gonna happen. No President will expand offshore drilling, because that would mean American oil production might start to compete with Saudi oil production. Unthinkable. If Congress really thought this was important, they could change the law to remove all executive authority to restrict drilling. ¶ 6:04 AM
