Quick post on “lame duck session” incorrectly used and overused on News Media


How ridiculous the news is: We keep hearing the term the “lame duck session“, as a light insult  which is now becoming closer to a topic name. To clarify so you do not all become morons. The term the “Lame Duck” session is the period between the election of a President and the amount of time for him to take his seat.

This period in which it takes the arriving President to be inaugurated allows for the current President and his administration to drag their feet or make no further policy(typically due to the timeliness of the situation, newly created bills will either be vito’d or not well understood by the new administration) Thus creating a lame session in congress.  Some also refer to certain Presidents’ 2nd term as a lame session, though most within the administration try to suppress this and pretend they are creating new policy and enactments.

There is no conceivable way anyone can call a new president in his first 2 years of administration and their business conducted a “lame duck session”, unless their simply stating the President isn’t doing anything. Sometimes I truly wonder if there is another election that goes on in a private organization for the real President, who know maybe there is even another version of the white house, It starting to seem as if we all voted for candidates as if it were American Idol. I suppose it is difficult for the President, as he would literally have to tell the media their incorrect idiots every-time they use the term. I once thought people were this bad. Then I thought it couldn’t be possible, through natural competition anything incorrect would eventually be move outward. (this isn’t to say mistake or inconclusiveness kills everyone) but blatant repetition of incorrect terms blurted constantly across the News station has no reason to exist. This form of nature allows for incorrect organization to occur and ruin the lives you all hope to have.
