House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said it was inappropriate for Boehner to invite Netanyahu to address Congress in the shadow of that election and give the appearance of endorsing the prime minister. Inappropriate. This coming from a person who pushed a health care system down the throats of the American people? Well, Nancy.

Obama upset

I find it amusing how "upset" Obama is because of the direct invitation to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to speak to Congress about the threat of Iran, but yet when he yields his ever-flowing pen of executive authority, sidestepping Congress. He sees nothing wrong with it and even flaunts how he will do this time and time again. But With Netanyahu speaking directly to Congress, he can't spin what he says. It comes directly for all to hear and form their own opinion, which of course Obama doesn't want to happen because he knows what is best for us.

Jackson roundabout

Thousands of dollars will be spent on studies of how to ease traffic flow through Jackson, not just the four-way stop, but two other three-way stops that you have to maneuver through as go through Jackson. A roundabout, are you crazy? You would have to clear the property the courthouse is on to have the room needed. What is needed is a bypass, but Jackson will never let that happen as they feel they get so much commerce from people driving through Jackson. Look at other towns that have had this problem and not even as bad as Jackson's. The bypass was the solution, but I know this will fall on deaf ears.
