As the New Year approaches I am left feeling anxious about the new year and the changes that it will bring. The republican's will hold the majority and that is a scary thing considering how they, as a minority, are handling the closing of this year. I am left wondering when we, as a people, are going to stand up and say "you work for us and we will no longer tolerate your behaviour". Why are Americans so willing to be led to slaughter? The Republicans are basically slapping working Americans in the face with their attitudes about the President. We may not agree with who is holding the office of President but it is up to all the Senators and Congressmen to RESPECT the office. That does not mean roll over and play dead, but discuss and debate the issues and let the majority rule the decisions, after all that is what a democracy is all about. The Republicans have been very clear about their only agenda in the coming year and that is to block anything that might reflect positively on President Obama so that he is a "one-term president", which pisses me off considering that it is supposedly American people who decide who will become President.
Here is the deal......if you truly believe that America is a democracy and that the politicians have lost sight of who they report to, then you must vote to re-elect President Obama and send a message to Washington that if they want to play games and not do their JOB then they will no longer have that JOB. It is not President Obamas' fault that he has to work with a bunch of juvenile delinquents (who are more interested in having a tantrum) and that the Democrats sat around for 2 years before trying to assert themselves and now want to blame the president for having to make compromises.
I will leave you with this thought........if you will not stand up and be counted then don't complain when they roll right over you and take away everything that you possess.
Hope you have a blessed day and a better tomorrow.
