Ten New Worries for Congress
Just a few new worries I have for the new Democratic Congress in DC…
1: I worry that the apparent unity the Dems showed leading up to the Election yesterday will be shattered as the their diverse goals and priorities rise to the surface. Can they maintain the unity to work on issues that matter?
2: I worry that this morning’s contrite speech by President Bush is a hollow and meaningless speech. He’s talked many many times in the past about working with others, compromising, and making changes. Those never happened.
3: I worry that while portions of the country hail a “new era” in Congress, the new era won’t materialize.
4: I worry because what exactly is this “new era”? Do you know? While I found the nuevo-Republican’s agenda reprehensible, at least I could easily predict what they would say on almost any issue.
5: I worry that some people thinking that America has abondoned the Republican party will be taken to heart, just as in 1994 when people said the same thing of Democrats.
6: I worry that the Democrats don’t have their own Contract With America.
7: I worry that various pundits are going to call certain Republicans sore losers which isn’t going to help anyone move on to the business at hand.
8: I worry that President Bush is going to use his Executive Orders far more than he has in the past, and even that was a lot.
9: I worry that the Democratic leadership, satisfied with what they have accomplished, are done.
10: I worry that the “liberal”, “progressive”, and “independent” voters out there, satisfied with what they have accomplished, are done.
What are you worried about?

My biggest worry is that the Democrats won’t change anything (this shouldn’t surprise you), the Republicans in ’08 will say “see, they’re worse,” and get power immediately back.

I worry that you worry about worrying too much.
