GOP so the Senate is out of bounds. When you have a Congress in lock step with the Executive and a small majority, you can't do much but you knew didn't you? As for Obama's trip being a joke, tell that to the many people around the world who look upon him as their best hope for a sane policy and a return to normalcy after all these years of right wing extremism. No one thinks he will wave his wand and everything will be perfect. We can only hope that by increments, he will turn this beast around and make a prince out of a very ugly toad.
