Thanks Aidenag, good post.
Good for Waxman. The Truth about any government official should be preserved for the People & for history. ( We teach our children to tell the truth, so, the truth should be what they learn in school, about our President's & our countries history.)

What Rep. Waxman doesn't mention is something called "The Congressional Record." A Congressman can submit and even edit "the record" before it's published. i.e. The folks back home see that their Congressman took to the floor of the house to "fight" for money and jobs for the home district. In effect, Mr. local Congressman took a day off and missed votes, on the very day he was supposedly "fighting" for the working man back home.
As Shakespear said..."full of Sound and Fury, signifiying NOTHING!
..and do Something with those Eyebrows for G_d's sake! What a poser.
