I'm not surprised at all. I actually expected this much sooner. She has a long way to go before she is back to her old self again.

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), who was severely wounded just over one year ago in a shooting rampage, announced Sunday that she is resigning from Congress.

“I have more work to do on my recovery so to do what is best for Arizona, I will step down this week,” she told supporters in a video message. “I'm getting better, every day.”

Giffords says she will resign this week from Congress so that she can devote herself to her rehabilitation, which has been under way for more than a year since a bullet pierced her brain during the mass shooting in a Tucson parking lot that left six people dead.

She'll probably make more money drooling along side James Brady and making more money by doing so.

I hope she has a good life, after what she went thru, who the frig needs politics.

Seriously.

Best of luck, Gabby, so sorry what happened to you.

 

[California Girl]

That's a shame... but probably in her best interests. I hope she continues to make a great recovery.

Its a very sad way to leave. I agree though, and it is about time, she needs to focus on her recovery.

 

[Liability]

IT took courage (of sorts) to acknoweldge that the injuries make her job too difficult to perform properly.

Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative, or anyone else anywhere in between (or further out) on the political spectrum who would do anything BUT wish her well is just a low life.

God Speed, Gabby.

 

[Sarah G]

Thanks for trying so hard, Gabby. You're still here.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Best of wishes, best of luck, and I hope you and your astronaut live happily ever after.

 

[Foxfyre]

Gabby is a special person, thoroughly lovable, and was probably competent in representation of her district. But it is obvious that she has not yet recovered from her injury and I agree with others that she needs to focus on that. She deserves every resource and encouragement in that process.

We need more dedicated public servants like her that actually gives a damn about doing the people's work. It is a shame that her career was cut short.

 

[WillowTree]

She's shown courage in more ways than one. Resigning was an act of courage. Continue to heal Mrs. Giffords Americas wishes you well.

 

[whitehall]

Too bad. She is a tough babe and a credit to the democrat party.

 

[Zander]

Best wishes to her. I sincerely hope she fully recovers from her tragic injuries. She's inspiring.

 

[The Infidel]

Godspeed to her, and she will remain in my prayers.

 

[techieny]

God bless you Gabby. I wish you all the best as you continue your recovery !

 

[xotoxi]

Strong lady. And a supportive husband. Best of luck.

Don't Retreat -- Instead RELOAD!

 

[Dr.House]

Best wishes and a speedy recovery...
