Does it seem to you like the President has been working day
and night to find some way out of the economic mess America is in? Isn't this what he should be doing right now, every day, at full
speed ahead? Has he been burning the midnight oil towards that end, or, as the newspapers report, is he out dawdling and stomping
for money to run his next campaign? How can he do that at this moment in time? Or is he waiting for Congress to pass new laws aimed
at economic relief? Lots of luck if that's the case. Or is he waiting until just before November, 2012, to introduce some last minute
legislation to sway some voters into thinking he has the answers to what's troubling the U.S? Does the President really believe
there are more important issues, issues that need his attention right now, than lowering the national debt and getting people back
to work, and helping to prevent another, deeper recession that some analysts are predicting might be just around the corner? Just
what is he doing in this very serious time in our history? Is this really a good time for partisan stalling and maneuvering in order
to gain votes? I don't believe the President has any idea how to get us out of the mess we seem to be in, and I sometimes wonder if
he really cares, and those are scary thoughts.
I wonder if what we need right now
is someone who can lead a movement to get the Government of the United States to "get the lead out" and start working together to
solve some of our problems. The Congress and even the President seem to be more interested in their health plans, retirement paychecks,
car allowances, staff aides, speaking politically correct, and most of all not alienating voters during election years, than they
are in passing responsible legislation that serves the best interests of the country and not just their particular party line. They
seem to be willing to vote no on a program just because it was initiated by someone other than a member of their party, and that's
not responsible government, by anybody's standard. It's getting to the point where members of Congress have one goal, besides getting
reelected, and that's not letting the opponent party make any headway towards solving any or all problems that need solving. They
seem to vote no, not because it's a bad idea, but because it's an idea offered by the opposition. They seem to see the opposition
as "the enemy", rather than a group that they should be working with to foster better government. And I for one am sick and tired
of this kind of representation in
