The show is getting old. But the only other channel is the quagmire in the Middle East. And people were way tired of that.
[In changing their debt plan - otherwise known as Boehner's Blunder - to include Tea Party demands so it could pass the House] Republicans made it clear they would rather pander to the right of their own party in order to spare their own blushes – rather than appeal to the Senate and seek a workable compromise there.
Can’t get much clearer. And I think you can probably lay this one squarely at the feet of John Boehner. It’s his blushes that were to be spared at all costs, and including heavy-handed browbeating on his own party members.
"If you want to see a bipartisan compromise, let your members of Congress know. Call, write, tweet," Obama told his TV audience, making history by being the first US president to officially call on citizens to use a #compromise hashtag.
As though John Boehner – or the GOP – give a rat’s ass what any TV audience cares. Oh, oh! They’re TWEETING! We have to change!
We will get our debt ceiling raised. All this drama has been for show and it hasn’t been about the economy, but about tearing down Obama. Because why? You guess. It’s not because he hasn’t been working a GOP agenda the whole time he’s been in office. If we’re only going to have two parties who can hold that office, and both of those parties are going to carry out essentially the same policies, then why don’t we just alternate the presidency – GOP 8 years, Democrats 8 years. Then maybe they could spend time actually trying to run the country –not run the country into the ground – instead of expending all their efforts on claiming the throne.
The Democrats and Republicans have totally lost sight of the fact that they’re supposed to be running this country for the benefit and betterment of all. The Tea Party acts as though they believe the job is bigger than the personality, but they are seriously looney-tunes, so they’re probably not who you want driving the bus. In fact, they will never get the driver’s seat as long as there is a corporation left functioning in this country. Come to think of it, the corporations are getting out of Dodge as quickly as they can.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
