I'm a political junkie, and I usually stay as up-to-date as is possible with the news. But I've been in summer camp in Oregon with no internet access for a month now (apart from a few days in the middle), and I'm really behind. It's a crappy situation.
Say anything important that happened this month. If you can only think of one or two things, then just post that.
Thanks in advance.

16. Don't worry, half the people on DU missed it because they were busy being entertained by pundits. |
|
I say rebels in quotations because a month ago, they were rebels... a faction... a coup d etat. Now they're the ruling body.

13. According to many here, Obama caved to the GOP again |
|
Because he moved the date of his speech next week by a day at the request of the Speaker of the House.
Congress took summer vacations irregardless of the terrible shape they say our country is in.
Cantor is holding FEMA funding hostage following Hurricane Irene for even deeper cuts. (but that probably is not news to anyone).
