Morning Mumble

Life goes on. And if I had to guess, I would say that the President's speech fell on deaf Republican ears last night. 'La La La La La La La La La…I can't hear you!'

Congressman Jim Moran had this to say, "We're going to have to get our act together - particularly the Republican party. They need to do something more than just say "no" to everything he proposes."

You mean, like having an idea of their own that they want to share with us? I don't get it; here's a perfect opportunity for the Republican leadership to show us some leadership, to show Americans that they can rise above the pettiness. They could steal the show from the Democrats if only they would act like adults. What do you think would happen if the Republican leadership gave a speech without mentioning the 'other party' and concentrated on a plan of some sort. (Not like their previous one, of course.) What if the leaders treated us as intelligent listeners and refrained from using material leftover from the Rush Limbaugh show?

Well, I don't care much for the leadership of either party, but the one in power is less odious than the previous one. That aside, I already know what will happen; the leadership of both parties will remain firmly in the gutter and the electorate will be dismissed as irrelevant.

Hopefully, our President will remain above the fray. He has so far and no one can fault him for being less than open or accommodating. And if you want to see where the money is going or voice an opinion, you can go to Recovery dot Gov and contribute your two cents worth.

"Assuming either the Left Wing or the Right Wing gained control of the country, it would probably fly around in circles."
