Politics

Today I watched C-SPAN to watch the debate on the debt increase issue.  What a mess Washington is in.  Every Democrat say that we need more revenue and basically blame President Bush.  The Republican say that the bill being debated is a bipartisan bill.  It doesn't look like any of the Democrats know this.  It seems to me that We The People are represented by people who only care about how they look in public.
Why is it that this large group can't sit down and come up to many solutions that will make We The People feel that we are getting our moneys worth.  Nothing will ever get done if both parties do not sit down and compromise.  We have a two party system because we all know no one group has all the answers.  Is it time for a third party to come to power and cause the Republicans and Democrats to wake up and start serving the needs of We The People.
I think that if an elected official criticizes a piece of legislation publicly they should be required to make a suggestion of their own.  Nothing gets done because neither side want the other to pass any legislation that might solve a problem. 
Where is the leadership?  Where is President Obama?  Obama quotes Ronald Reagan, instead he should learn a lesson about leadership from the former President Reagan and get something done.

Clueless Elected Officials

What is wrong with congress and our President?  We The People have sent you all to Washington to govern for We The People not for you to have a better chance of getting re-elected.  This big drama over the debt limit has gone on long enough.  I am sick of the politics being played by the Democrats, Republicans and our President.  I find it amazing that this group of men and women cannot find a way to make a compromise that all sides can live with that will not cripple We The People.

We The People must continue to send our elected officials the only message they understand, at the voting booth.  If we do not have a group that can govern together, vote them out.  Party does not mater, governing for We The People does.  It is time that the bickering and finger pointing stop.
