Rise In Secret Bill Writing In Washington

No matter how long or how much of this nonsense goes on, some people still want to hang tight on the divisional aspects of party and ideology as the problem.

For Main St. there certainly is a problem. For Capitol Hill, everything is running like clock work.

And as long as everyone clings to this being a matter of left vs right, conservative vs liberal, Republican vs Democrat, this gov't which consists of but one party is free to do as they please and drag their feet on the needs of the people while moving forward with an agenda that has never been disclosed to the American people but remains a topic of conversation only in elite circles of business and in the back rooms of gov't.

The divisional properties of party and ideology as simply a means to difuse and redirect the anger of a distraught public and offer an ever shifting target for that displeasure while the machine of gov't conveniently moves on it's own accord towards whatever it intends to do and has intended to do for a century or more.
Perhaps it's time we as a populace should begin to hold government itself responsible for ethical behavior and producing the desired and promised results that a free society has demanded of it all along.
It doesn't matter which party "takes the hit" or appears to be responsible for the failure of existing or pending legislation.
Perhaps it's time we made it known of our displeasure with gov't as a whole and make Congress and the president accountable as a whole.
It's due time to strip gov't of the double blind it has created through the media and let our elected politicians know that hiding behind party lines is not going to afford either party absolution from the accountability they accepted when they were elected and swore an oath to this country and her people.

Nine Months Later, Obama Plan To Help 1.5 Million Struggling Homeowners Yet To Launch

Very hard to get this thing rolling when each time a measure is implemented it can't get into or out of Congress without being stepped on like a street bag of coke from the 80's.

From presidential appointees to Senators and Representatives to final signature, these programs end up with strategic loop holes and weasel clauses that remove all the good it might have held in principle and bears no teeth to make corporate America comply with the original intent of the program... which was to improve the economy, not the financial footing of the housing/banking industry.

It's beyond unfortunate. I believe initially, President Obama had his heart in the right place and now, in the light of a Washington day, he is as surprised and disappointed as any of us with the limited service our system can actuall deliver to the people and for it's own maintenance in these current times.

Of course he is neither blameless for adding to these obsticles or solely to blame.

It just appears, that in the wake of the callousness of the last few administrations, the greed of Wall St. and industry, the incompetence and self serving nature of Congress, the subordinate approach to corporate America shown by his appointees and his own unwillingness to stand in opposition to those same people and forces...there is little less than a clean slate either with or without President Obama that will solve our current social and econimic problems and put America back on track.

SNL Sketch Takes A Poke At BO

I support Obama, but I like to laugh too.
More often than not, the best humor comes from pointing out the truths around us.
This was a very funny skit.
And who knows, perhaps BO will see this and start to better understand that the people who most support him, (his base) are getting antsy these days.
Thanks SNL for showing that still, nothing is beyond humor.
And let's be serious for a moment. What ever did Bush/Cheney do benefit America or Americans in 8 years?

Whether BO is a smashing success at everything he does or simply redirects America from the arrogant, obstinate, imperialism that the world has come to expect us to be, Obama is at the very least credited with repairing America's image internationally, presenting himself as an intelligent and articulate representative and the type of individual that Americans can be proud of electing for their leadership. And even the short list of things he has accomplished shows he remains genuinely interested in serving the people, rather than just the industrialists in this country he voluntarily serves.

What did Bush/Cheney do for this country for 8 long years???

And that shit, isn't funny at all.
