Spoiled Children are Holding our Country Hostage

I don’t get this.  President Obama comes back early from a much deserved vacation to deal with this “fiscal cliff” issue, and the GOP bails on both him and us.  Harry Reid apparently said today that time has run out for a deal to get made.  Folks on extended unemployment lose that.  What will they do?  Do the right wing nut jobs even understand that they too have constituents who will be severely affected by this?  The whole tax cut issue pales in comparison to those people who still haven’t found a job.  What does an increase in taxes mean to them?  Nothing.  They just want to have food on the table to feed their children.  Oh, and they’d probably like to keep their home as well.

Where is your American Exceptionalism now, Mr. Boehner?  Are you fine with this as long as your rich donors are happy?  You might remember that Romney lost.  We were trying to tell you something by winning some of the seats that the GOP held.  The Occupy movement was trying to tell you the same thing.  We’re fed up with your shenanigans. We want this country to move forward, and not in a way that destroys the middle class.

For some reason, you appear to have left reason at the door and are hell-bent on ruining our country just to get the President out of office.  It didn’t work, Mr. Boehner.  He’s still there. And in two years, if this keeps up, Democrats will take even more seats.  Perhaps we’ll take back the House, increase our majority in the Senate, and maybe then we’ll move the country forward.

Unless… You could do the right thing.  Be the adult in the room. The American people need to know that you have our backs.  And not poised to stab us there.  Your behavior has consequences.  Please come back to Washington and save our country.
