Wisconsin U.S. Senator Herb Kohl spoke to members and guest at the Thursday meeting of the Hudson Rotary Club. His thoughts on the federal government treatment of most subjects included the declaration “we must do a better job.”

Did he really say that one shouldn’t get too attached to one’s office after serving for 24 years in the same position?

I used to vote for Kohl and other democrats. then along came Obama and socialized medicine. When the President has to make backroom deals with legislators (2nd Louisiana Purchase, Cornhusker kickback, etc), the Senate changes procedural rules to pass the bill, and Nancy Pelosi says, “You have to pass it to know what’s in it.”; how can any elected official with any integrity vote for nation-changing legislation? (another federal district court -I think I heard the 11th-just found obamacare unconstitutional. what’s that make it, 3 to 1 unconstitutional?)
And then, Senator Kohl’s office says they can’t pass a budget because they don’t have the 60 votes needed. It has been 800+ days, including the post 2010 fall elections when democrats still held the legislative and executive branches, and the people who could pass obama care can’t pass a budget.
I quit thinking I was “smart” (/sarc) and started looking at the facts….this ain’t my daddy’s democrat party.

His thoughts on the federal government treatment of most subjects included the declaration “we must do a better job.” I’m confused – I thought that this is what you guys want?

We’ve been waiting for 24 years for Herb Kohl to do a better job. All he has done is bury our children in debt….he has a bit of nerve saying that congress needs to do a better job. I don’t know of one thing this millionaire (or is it billionaire?) has done in the last 24 years in the senate, do you?

I mention Kohl’s wealth because you guys always vilify the ‘evil’ wealthy people, unless of course they are lefties. Heck, with Kohl’s deparment store fame and ownership of the Milwaukee Bucks, he was off the charts when they ranked member of congress and their wealth. The cut off was $50 million and he is way beyond that.

Knocked radical Russ out last year…we are happy to replace old Herb in 2012. Good riddance.

You’re response to John’s question on what has Kohl done the last 24 years is, well…Ron Johnson’s a milliionaire too. Wow, what wisdom. I suppose your next response will be…”I know you are, but what am I?”
