Anyone with me??? Force Congress to go
back to work full time!! I think one of the first things that President-elect Obama should seriously consider in light of "all of the work that needs to be done" is insist that Congress go back to a 5 day work week like the majority of Americans. Right now they work Tues - Thurs. Demand a full work week and ONLY four weeks vacation. I'd even concede to a 4 1/2 day work week giving travel time for Monday am by 10:00 and letting out on Friday pm at 2:00.

1.  I thought Nancy Pelosi
put the House, at least, back on a five day workweek after toe 2006 election. I recall a great deal of complaining on the part of Republicans. Did that get changed?

I thought Nancy was going to change the repubs 3 day work week and make it a full week too?
but I agree they should work the full week and not just 3 days.
