“The Republican legislation, sharply criticized by President Barack Obama, faces certain death in the Democratic-controlled Senate, where all Democrats have vowed to vote against it later on Friday.” This is a quote from a longer article by Associated Press on the Internet
Again and again this writer is amazed that the American people blame the Republicans for our debt problems. They are the only ones working very hard to solve the problems. And if my readers will be even a little fair minded, I am sure that you would agree that it seems meaningless to work hard to propose a solution in the face of withering criticism from President Obama with a promise of a veto and confronted by the constant refrain of “dead on arrival” by Senator Reid.
It is especially galling when both Obama and Reid keep getting on TV and saying compromise, compromise, compromise. But then go on to tell the press that they will do everything they can to destroy whatever it is that the Republicans propose. Actually, although I don’t like to say it, it seems to me that President Obama and Harry Reid are plain liars. They do not care about a solution, they care about their own particular solution. They don’t care what the House of Representatives want they only care about what the Democrats want.
How many Democrats in the house even tried to help pass the Boehner bill? And Harry Reid has already said that every single Democrat Senator will vote to kill the Boehner bill as soon as it is presented in the Senate. And then we read that it is all the fault of the Republicans!! Come on, Harriet!! At least the freshmen Republicans and Conservatives stood up for their principles and did not abandon their election promises. It seems that every single one of the Democrat Senators campaigned on one issue and it is the big issue for them, namely, defeat and destroy the Republicans- to hell with the nation. Shame on them.
