I'm not sure why that was posted to me. Those are not quotes I have endorsed. It is a fact, however, that the people of the USA are disappointed with the government, which has been made clear to all by the 11% approval rating for congress. Their disappointment is justified and increased when they see Republicans pointing the finger of blame at Democrats and visa versa.
"Besides whatever the House passes, the Senate can reject and even if a bill passes through the Congress, Obama can veto it and if it fails to get a super majority, then we are back to square one, the situation is decided by politicians of various shades. and that is taking the country back?
No, that is partisan politics as usual, something that has been justifiably and broadly condemned for several election cycles now. Politicians of various shades have continually been told as a result, by the voters, to get out at each election cycle. Our politicians need to represent we the people not just we the lobbyists or we the party faithful. Republicans have not made a sincere effort at reconciliation so that we could see such representation and neither have Democrats. Voters don't by the, OK but you go first gambit. Obama has not figured out how to be a man of the people yet either, since he still comes across as an adversary to conservatives. He does seem to want conservative support but he doesn't come across as being on the unbiased side of the people. He will be a great president if he can figure out how to do that but his time is running out.
How have you felt when your closest relations expressed disappointment in you? I consider it more painful that being physically beaten, as do most people. Apparently the politicians do not feel close enough to the people or they would feel that pain and do something about it far ahead of the next election cycle.
"The elections results are a tragedy for this country."
The election results are yet another attempt by the voters to express that disappointment and to make their expectations clear, 'congress step up and show us how you can work together to get things done or get out.' They are seeing how the two party system operates when it is at its worst. It is not a pendulum swing of partisan support as people all caught up in party loyalty interpret it, it is a condemnation of partisan polarization. |
