At Their Own Peril

I wouldn't unpack the bags in the Speaker's office just yet. It may be a short term for Mr. Boehner. Election cycles in the United States never seem to end and the day after the mid-terms, the positioning for 2012 and beyond took shape. Yesterday, instead of offering legislative insight, Mrs. Bachman from Minnesota's highest unemployment and foreclosure district, spoke of her goal of removing the Democrats from the Senate and Obama from the Presidency. In an act of manufactured resentment and sheer political grandiosity, the House repealed Health Care reform. The nation in its wisdom, is actually beginning to understand the reform and support it in larger numbers, certainly at least many elements of it. The President's attemp at compromise and willingness to work with his adversaries is playing nicely with the public. If the Republicans continue along the path of obstruction instead of compromise and seriously believes it has a long term mandate to destroy that which has begun to work, it will be a very short lived vacation for the Democrats in the House. The word repeal may become a haunting reality for Republicans. Where are you Americans for reason and truth?

  1. Teacher, "Obama care" evidently does not concern
    you and the other myopic individuals that are
    the "extreme" left of your political dogma. But
    the other 80% of this Republic see it for what
    it is, just another nail in the "coffin."
    Socialized medicine has never been successful
    throughout annals of history. The "movers and
    shakers" in your camp know this, it is power for
    the sake of power that drives them, not some "holier than thou" hypocritical position. We
    (the majority)have been experiencing the demise of our personal freedoms for over a hundred
    years. You may want the government to tell you
    when to "rise and shine" or when it's time to
    "hit the sack" but I don't. The Government that gives also takes. History is replete with
    examples of "power grabbing" leaders that used very gullible individuals to facilitate take
    overs. "Blind leaders of the blind." "Ever
    learning and never able to come to the full
    knowledge of the truth."
