WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE TELEVISION IS ON THE CONGRESS FLOOR?


          The recent stationing of TV cameras in Congress has unacceptably influenced the behavior of most Congressmen on floor of the House and Senate. They seem more concerned with their image on camera than the substance of their speeches or the substance of the legislation before them! The TV cameras expose the following;

  1. the intellectually challenged,
  2. a profound lack of understanding,
  3. an abundance of hyperbolic egos spouting out misinterpreted information,
  4. clinical ignorance,
  5. sadistic playing to the camera such as overly emotional blubbering and crying.


            On a positive note, the live TV shows how much hypocrisy there is among some of the Congressman. They cannot be on one side at one time and change their sides without the viewing public seeing their political trickery live and color. For example, Boehner finally had to admit that he said that he did not want Obama or his policies to succeed. Although he fell short of admitting he was fighting Obama because he was Black!
