Looking Back Through C-SPAN #7

It’s over, and the 111th will forever be known for the craptastic economy. With better things to do there was no way you could have been watching C-SPAN every minute of the day, so we are bringing you 10 of the most memorable clips from (or occurring during) the 111th Congress that C-SPAN had to offer.
