No, not really. It wasn't until the President got "scorched" by the national media that he finally acted, not talked, as if he was listening to the Gulf Coast people as well as the rest of the American people. In the face of a disaster of this proportion, do you now start to get a sense of what it is going to take to get this administration's attention about almost anything, except their own, force it down our throats, agenda.
This man MUST be a one term President. He is doing and will continue to do so much harm in the wake of his absolute determination to do what he wants to no matter the price or the consequences to the Republic, that one term will be more than enough. This is the only President we have right now, so please no more emails about what you thought other Presidents didn't do in an effort to show he is no different. Well, he is different, and right now he is the only one we can do anything about, so no histrionics please.
I have come to the conclusion that when you have nothing to back up what you are saying you argue your point from emotion. Have you ever wondered why with a numerical majority in the country there are no liberal national media persons on the radio and why the ones who have tried, have tried and failed. It is because FACTS are their worst nightmare, if they have to talk about facts their dead in the water. They can't stand the heat of Americans calling in and talking with them about FACTS, they want to argue from "feelings and emotions".
Is there anything wrong with feelings and emotions? No, unless you try and trump reality, or try and re-distribute wealth as a "fairness doctrine". No, unless you don't want to confuse your agenda with the truth. My experience with people who want to "level the playing field" in all areas, want to do so ONLY as long as it doesn't apply to them, i.e., all the federal employee exemptions to the new health care laws.
With the election a little over 4 months away there is another suggestion you need to hear from someone, me, who was there and saw how it worked. We need to require our "new" congress persons to pledge NOT to hire any staffer on Capitol Hill that has served in a Congressman's or Senators office for more than 2 years. The staffers, many times, are as much the problem as the elected official and often MORE. Officials come and go but the staffers are there forever.
We need a law on the books that says Members of Congress can serve on three terms, 6 years, and Senators can serve only 1 term, 6 years, with no pensions. This is the only way we will ever get them to start talking with and working with each other. The way it is now we have built a "caste" system or should I say "class" system with them being the UPPER in either case. We need Americans who are not so caught up in their own lives to hold their feet to the fire while they are there. The Constitution will survive, though it may be tested to the limit, it will survive because it was and is God inspired!
