Cassi Creek: The
continual refusal to undertake any cooperative effort to conduct the nation’s
financial and other affairs has marked this Congress as singularly
ineffective. The public has little or no
confidence in the Congress or respect for the members of either chamber.
Despite Obama’s
re-election, he is facing the same obstructionist behavior by the
GOP/teavangelists based upon the racist and political attitudes that still
exist in this nation and which were carefully cultivated by the GOP propaganda
machine.
I voted for
him twice. I’m still not happy with his
performance. He waffled and wimped out
during his first term when he should have utilized his bicameral majority to
push his platform past the opposition. Instead,
he allowed the opposition to bully their way into a blocking force that
prevented many items on his platform from ever seeing the light of day. I wanted a single payer universal national
health care program that eliminated the health insurance industry. I wanted the financial criminals on Wall
Street prosecuted, fined, and jailed for their efforts in destroying the
economy. I wanted our military out of
Afghanistan by now.
Obama wanted
re-election. I understand that. However, his first term behavior conditioned
the GOP to believe that they can use him like a doormat.
He’s been handed some horrid conditions to deal with out of
the gate. He’s actually accomplished a
fair amount of positive change. He can’t
seem to realize that he doesn’t have to answer the media or his opposition
until he’s ready to speak with all his facts assembled. I hope he learns that quickly. Otherwise, 2013 may be another very bumpy
year.
As for
Congress, they aren’t worth the money it costs to open their offices. Recall them all and send this batch
home. It would be difficult to assemble
a worse bunch of bought and paid for pretenders.
Happy 2013!
