President Obama and the democratic congress should enact their agenda and push it through congress. They were elected by the people and President Obama won a decisive win over John McCain in the November 2008 election and during the campaign ran on the issues now before congress and the American people. They should legally change the 60 vote rule and go back to the 50 plus 1 that governed congress and worked well for many, many years.
The republicans have proven during the past 12 months they will oppose any thing and every thing coming out of the Obama administration. It is a rerun and continuation of what they did during Clinton's eight years in office. They are the anti-American party who would rather see the country fail than succeed on a democrats watch. That is the essence of their opposition. They even stooped to the low of trying to impeach Clinton over an affair that many of them were guilty of themselves.
The President and democrats in congress can no longer let those childish people continue to hold America and its people hostage to an ideology that care for nothing except their own warped plan to continue to bankrupt the country, the economy and to have right wing policies that control our very thoughts.
The past three republican Presidents are responsible for the great majority of our federal debt and will not lift a finger to help reverse that burden. The democratic congress should pass health care on their own, continue to put reform into place concerning Wall Street and the Financial industry and move the country forward. Don't be afraid of the next election because if republicans are allowed to continue to obstruct that will play worse with the voters.
The President and democrats should have the courage of former President Truman, go after the republicans and expose them for what they are and what they represent, eight years of failure. The country is slowly but surely emerging from the big time mess Bush and the republicans bequeathed to the country and its people. Now is the time for the President and democrats in congress to stand tall and enact their agenda. The republicans have turned their back on their responsibility to the people so it now falls to the democratic congress to lead. Give the republicans the hell they deserve.
