Here are the facts, as I see them:
(1) The Republicans lost the right to set an agenda when their candidate for President lost.
(2) Overwhelmingly, American voters elected Democrats to the House and the Senate.
(3) The Bush administration left a mess, both domestically and internationally.
(4) People want jobs, a change of approach for solving our nations problems, and real leadership.
I've said it before and I'll say it again------ Ignore the Republicans! The GOP's failure to respond to the needs of their country just shows their self-absorbed, country club, pro-right wing philosophical differences. They don't give a damn. If we don't need the GOP to get things accomplished, forget about their assistance.
My neighbor lost her job last week. She had worked with the company for over two decades and was part of a second round of layoffs. It is just very sad to see her and others put in this situation.
Here is my advice for President Obama and the Democrats---
Pass the legislation and get people working again.
