Radio Smart Talk for Friday, November 11:
The United States Congress appears to be deeply divided along partisan lines. There seems to be news every day of Republicans and Democrats in Washington who can't agree on the major issues before them. Sometimes, it looks like nothing of any substance get done because of the political gridlock.
But is that reality? How does the Congress work today? What are their priorities?
Radio Smart Talk's guest on Friday can provide some insight. Andrea Seabrook is NPR's Congressional Correspondent and has been covering Capitol Hill since 2003.
What questions about Congress and Washington do you have for Andrea Seabrook?

Barbara - do you seriously infer that someone 'in the middle' would defend genocide, slavery and child sexual abuse??? Most people, regardless of where they fall on the political spectrum, are going to find these objectionable, and they represent a small percentage of political topics our representatives and we as citizens must consider. It's the larger percentage of topics that aren't as black-and-white, where there is less clarity as to what is the best course of action, where reasoned people should discuss and argue their positions, being objective and staying open to discussion 'in the middle', making us all better informed to make a good decision.
The Republican wanabee candidates for president want to abolish the EPA, the Department of Education, & the Commerece Department. They deny global warming, want to build an electrified fence between the US & Mexico. They were happy to endorse the Personhood Admendment in Mississippi. Name me any Dem as looney as this. Dems may have no backbones but they are not radical.
Andrea is dead wrong. Does she live under a rock or is she just too "fair & balanced" to be believed.
