THE REPUBLICANS ALL ARE IN THEIR TERRIBLE TWOS

The Republicans cannot stop being negative.  A two year old will most often say no (because it has been a familiar word that is just being understood) even when it means yes.  Through their use of refusal to do the bidding of the adults, they flex their own wings of power.  Of course, the two year old has no awareness of the consequences of trying the power of this  obstructionism.  The Republicans have taken their plan to make Obama a one-term president to a ridiculously destructive-for-the-country degree. They do not have the objective ability to see beyond their own hatred and greed to maintain their selfish behaviors to the detriment of the country any more than the two year old.  The tragedy is that the Republicans are not permitted to play with anyone other than those two year olds, thus they must all behave similarly..

Even the 1% will not be able to function if there are no workers.  I remember when the NY trash collectors had a strike.  It crippled the city so much that one woman resorted to gift wrapping her trash and laying it on the front seat of her unlocked car. Yes, it had been stolen before she returned.  That is what the real America is all about.  Creativity and survival.  Yet, not everyone has those characteristics.  Obama is creative and clearly has survived to date in a rather hostile environment.  He also has the courage of convictions based on caring what happens to his country, unlike the Republicans who will hurt their fellow countryman and the country to satisfy their greedy goal of making Obama a one-term president.

Now there is a new Bill O'Reilly conspiracy theory that the Democrats are leading this current fight against Limbaugh, etc as a way to turn eyes away from the failed decisions of the Obama administration..  Unfortunately for the Republicans, they have stepped in 'deep doo-doo', according the Ed Schultz of MSNBC, with their driven misogynistic actions against women's health (ergo against women which just include their mothers, wives, sisters, and all the women who outnumber them in their lives).

A point to this:  Men are acting  typically..  The militias have grown near 775% in the past few years.  Women are behaving more typically and will show their power at the ballot box among other verbal, non-violent venues.  And maybe even Santorum will learn that sex can be fun and, other than rape, usually is. A child being brought into this world unwanted should not deter the activity.  If 'God' didn't want it to be thus, he would not have allowed man to invent contraceptives, right?

THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESS IS ANTI-AMERICAN

It puzzles me how so many American voters can't see that the Republican politicians are working so hard to make Obama fail that they neglect to see their actions are failing America as well.   Reid has blasted the Republicans over the stalled vote on the Finance Bill but none of them seem to want to grow up and remember for whom they actually work.  Reid complains:  “They won’t let us move on any amendments,  It’s obvious that they do not want to put in decent restrictions on Wall Street.”  For the full article by David Herzenhorn in The Caucus, click here.

Republican obstructionism was last as powerful when, during the Clinton administration, they were a majority in Congress that hi-jacked the government to titillate themselves with the President's sex life.  Important bills languished while they spent their time pulling more and more prurient details to hang out to the voyeuristic public. To read about obstruction of Executive and Judicial nominees currently, click here,

Obama should be commended for not having wasted his time on revenge of the last Administration that dumped nothing but debt and economic manure in his lap when they left office.  The Republicans immediately got amnesia about where many of the problems came from, with which he struggles today to get them to take action on for the good of the country.
