Repealed


U.S. President Barack Obama

With all the bickering going on in Washington political circles, the Democratic Party is overlooking one thing. President Obama's plummeting approval ratings and the backlash growing against Democrats, due to wild overspending, dramatically increasing the national deficit, will make it easier for Republicans to gain headway in the elections, both mid-term and Presidential.

If, due to ongoing unwise choices, Obama is a one term President, once the Republicans are in office again, they will quickly move to repeal most of what he has done as Commander-In-Chief.

However, the extension of unemployment benefits for 1.3 million people should have been passed. The Republicans in the Senate should not have blocked this. It's not funny or fair that this matter has been derailed. You bailed out the banks with taxpayer money, but didn't bail out the people. This is not a good thing.

On the other side of the aisle, it is also not amusing that wasteful projects have received billions in taxpayer money, at President Obama's direction, when they are not a priority.

The moral of this story is the Democrats and Republicans need to work together and come up with real, lasting solutions to the problems facing America or it will be a waste of everyone's time, if things start getting repealed in a few years. The will of the people is not being followed and politicians in Congress are taking the populace for granted. This is not the time for that. Actually, there is no appropriate time for that...ever.
