Americans are sometimes very foolish and that includes those of us who vote for office holders in each state and federal position out there. We don’t think properly and we screw things up then try to blame one political party or the other for our mistakes.
The biggest mistake made by the American people at the Polls was the election of a President of one party and a congress of another. We put ourselves in the mess we are in, really. Why would you votes a President of one party in and then vote the supporting cast needed to fix things the opposite party? Americans you just didn’t think it out, in 2008, I know yes, we need to balance the government and the seats held properly, but all we did in 2008 was create a logjam that hasn’t budged since. President Obama says let’s go this way and correct the countries woes, and the opposition says no this way, and in the meantime Americans are jobless, hungry and homeless, we lose our Triple A credit rating and continue to hurt worse each day.
So as I watch the 2012 Presidential Election cycle get well underway and the Republicans head toward the first state in their bid for their party’s nomination, Americans you need to wake up. If your staying with President Obama for four more years, then throw the Republicans out of the House and Senate and give him some support. If your going to elect a Republican President in 2012 , the same thing must happen for a President without support in Congress is a President deadlocked and accomplishing nothing except in times of war. Compromise is a word the two political parties don’t understand it seems. And they don’t care if the American People are hurting they are not going to let the opposite party win anything and get ahead.
In times of trouble in the past, when America needed it most, the Congress and President would compromise and help the people. Today it’s like a bunch of children in a playground in Washington and they are playing one upsman ship. Why? All because, they believe we Americans voted it this way in 2008, and it’s what we wanted right? Wrong, we wanted checks and balances but we also wanted improvements and movement forward, not deadlocks and useless fighting!
So, as our Holiday Season gets fully underway, and you have less money for gifts, food and to live on, don’t blame the Democrats!. Don’t blame the Republicans, blame yourselves, the people of America who ran to the polls in 2008, and decided to pit your own Congress against your own President in an endless struggle of one-upmanship. We think we are smart by making the choice we did and voting Congress to one party and the Presidency to another, but in fact we burned ourselves in 2008 and we may be about to do so in 2012 once more.
I have seen and heard stories of President Obama having a secret weapon in Hillary Clinton, don’t believe it. Mrs. Clinton is the only woman in American History to come as close as she did to the office of the President. I admire Mrs. Clinton, but Vice President Joe Biden did nothing wrong. Mrs. Clinton doesn’t want to be the Vice President and she is, as she said looking forward to retiring. So, that secret weapon of Mrs. Clinton is not real, but imaginary and wishful thinking on some politicians parts.
Now as the Holiday Season commences and we spend time with family and friends and those we love, stop and think who put us in this position we are in now as a country. It isn’t one politician, it isn’t one party or the other, it isn’t one person or another, it’s ourselves the American People. We choose to balance the government the way we did in 2008, lets fix it now and get the country going again. Lets do what is right, and choose a party and a President and Congress that will work together once more and throw the bums out that won’t compromise and work together. Thanks
