President Obama, The Democrats, the media, and even parts of the conservative media have been hammering John Boehner into submission with what is basically a taunt, claiming that they are waisting time by passing something that the Senate will just kill.
So now Harry Reid is going to pass something that won't pass the House, so who is wasting who's time?
And where is the President? America didn't elect a Tweeter-in-Chief, they were expecting a COMMANDER-in-Chief. He has created this chaotic atmosphere by not leading. Look, I know there are segments on the right (and I'm probably in there) that won't go on board with most of what he does. But while he keeps clamoring for the parties to come together, part of doing that is helping give John Boehner some cover. Instead, he's just left him out there all alone while hiding behind Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer. That's right . . . HIDING behind Harry Reid. Its like he's still a junior senator, doing what his Leader tells him to do. With the two Houses of different parties, there is no more important role than president to help fix this. But since he's a committed partisan like we've never seen before, that won't happen. This is exposing Obama as wholly unprepared for this job. He's a partisan who's never had to actually lead anything before in an executive role before. You can't fix this with break out groups and community organizing. This requires big-boy pants, and sadly the President is still in his sailor shorts.
THANK YOU for posting this! Keep up the GREAT work!!
