Hank Johnson : US Congrressman claims Guam'will capsize from military influx'


www.telegraph.co.uk
The 55 year-old Democratic member of the US House of Representatives claimed he was "obviously" joking when he made the remarks during evidence with a senior Naval officer about the US Military's build-up on the American territory.

While questioning Admiral Robert Willard, the head of the US Pacific fleet, the two-term Congressman from Georgia expressed concerns about the plans to post up to 5000 extra marines, and their families, to the island.

I like this guy as a congressman. I don't think he would make it driving a cab or working in a convinence store store though.

The fact you like idiots like this making our policy decisions makes me very pessimistic about our future as a country. Either way ,joking or not, just making that kind of remark at a hearing is unprofessional at best. Maybe when elected we should award them a congressional box of crayons and a nifty coloring book ,along with a bike helmet so they can't hurt themselves or anyone else.

Are these people really the best we got?

I guess it is fortunate for us that out government is basically on cruise control. It doesn't take a genius to take kick backs from corporations and vote the way CEOs want them to.
