I just witnessed a disgusting display on C-Span.  Republican Rep. Pete Sessions sarcastically blasted how Pres. Obama and the Democrats are leading our nation to its doom.  He said it is so dire that he has gotten himself out of the stock market.

I breathlessly waited to see if he would tell us where he has parked all that money - treasuries, foreign stocks, gold, a jar buried in his backyard.  No luck.  Before I could bring up OpenSecrets.org on my browser, he had yielded back.

The latest personal financial disclosure report on file is for the calendar year 2008 - his stocks are valued at the end of that calendar year, when the stock market was just about at its lowest.  At that low point, the Sessions family reported assets valued at between $1.4 and $3.4 Million.  Looking at the actual report, almost all of that is in stocks, U.S. Treasuries, FNMA bonds. 

Rep. Sessions' 2009 report is not due until May 15, but that will only show his assets as of 12/31/09.  If Rep. Sessions actually divested himself of millions of dollars of stock within the first 5 weeks of 2010, he can file an amendment to his report (or, an early 2010 disclosure).

I'm not saying that Rep. Sessions was being untruthful when he said that he was so fearful of our country's economic survival that he bailed on our country.  But, I challenge him to file the disclosure statement that proves it.
