The Buffalo News reviewed the first few months of Rep. Chris Lee's term as a U.S. Congressman and Buffalo Pundit, blogger Alan Bedenko, who, shall we say, leans Democrat, says Lee actually is doing an OK job, even if Bedenko doesn't always agree on policy.

I was wrong about Lee. The guy really seems to care about his constituents, and he’s taken an interest in the issues that matter.

Lee is building bridges with his Democratic colleagues, especially those also representing Western New York Districts, according to the News.

The issues that matter? What, passports and renaming post offices? Lee has done basically nothing to help the local economy, which is issue number one. Quite the opposite, since he opposed the economic recovery plan, and opposed the President's budget.
