The GOP has lost touch with reality.

Seriously? The GOP's only goal in the next 2 years is to make sure Obama fails? Don't they realize that if Obama fails, we all fail?

It is clear that the GOP intends to do NOTHING over the next 2 years to actually help the American people. This isn't a zero sum game people. A Presidential failure will only mean we will have at least 2 more years of high unemployment and a terrible economy.

President Obama, please use your executive powers and stop trying to be a noble leader. Make some serious progress with or without the GOP and I assure you, your supporters will be faithful in 2012.

Stop Kidding Yourself...

Both political parties need to stop kidding themselves.  I have only skimmed the headlines of this morning's news and know that both parties have got it all wrong.

At least they agree on one thing, they both believe the American people actually care.

Both parties are delusional in thinking that the American people actually care about the process, about the politics, about the party.  Breaking news:  We. Don't. Care.

What we do care about (and how we will judge your time in office) is by the end results of the key issues we care about.  What we care about is the end result, not all the shenanigans that goes on to get there.

We want lower unemployment.  So do what needs to get done to lower unemployment.  Surely there is a right answer and compromise to get there, so stop talking about it and find it.

Your angry constituent,

Dear President Obama

Dear President Obama,

I was a supporter of your campaign in 2008 and defended some of your ideas vehemently to friends and family.  I often annoyingly hit "reply-all" to inaccurate emails that are forwarded to me that claim all things from the fact that you are Muslim to the fact that you are a socialist.

I was, and still am, happy to cry foul when people present their opinions as fact.  I still believe that your vision aligns with mine; however, I need you to know a few things as we roll swiftly into the second half of your presidency:
  1. Let's actually see the "change you believe in" in action and stop playing party politics.  This is just a major distraction that we don't care about.
  2. Democrats should loose control of the Senate and/or House of Representatives tomorrow.  This will force bipartisanship and new ideas.
  3. I support you, not the Democratic party. So please stop spamming me with your endorsements.  You should also stop sharing my email address with the Democratic party.  I am not afraid to mark your (and every other Democrat's) email as spam.
kthxbai,
Chris
