Hank Johnson is a liberal democrat Congressman representing Georgia’s 4th Congressional District since 2007. The 55 year old Johnson is an attorney and was a former county judge.
Last Friday during a House Armed Services Committee hearing, Congressman Johnson was questioning Admiral Robert Willard, head of the U.S. Pacific fleet, about the stationing of 5,000 additional U.S. Marines and their families on the western Pacific island of Guam, a 212-square-mile American territory that is 30 miles long and from four to 12 miles wide.
I’m not going to say anymore about about Congressman Johnson’s questioning of Admiral Willard as I think it best that you decide for yourself. Just keep in mind that since Johnson is one of 535 members of the United States Congress, everything he says is important. But pay particular attention to the congressman's comments starting at the 1:16 mark and the pregnant pause after his stated concern and hand gestures.
Apparently Congressman Johnson is an advocate of both the global warming movement as well as the "Island tip-over and capsizing" movement.
Keep in mind also that you are paying Congressman Johnson's salary this year -- $174,000.
A "tip of my hat" to Admiral Willard for his professional response to Congresman Johnson's absurd question!
Remember to 2010 general elections are just a few months away!
