What a week. Repubs hold country hostage to the sequester, refusing to close tax loopholes for the very rich! The Pope abdicates-first in 700 years. So much behind that decision. So much bad news-is there any other kind? The Pope said there were days of "light and joy" and others when he felt God was "asleep." If the leader of 1 billion souls on earth cannot reach God's ear. I feel so fearful and discouraged at thi gridlock-hatred between a do nothing congress and a cool as a cucumber president who will still have his family, millionaire freinds and great selling books. relative paupers like Clinton may enter the WH but all capitalize on it.
In two years pundits expect the radical right tea partiers and everyone to be voted out. But more just like them will enter. What a spineless group/selfish male dominated two party mess we have. What are Americans feeling? They said it would not happen. Every crisis manufactured to make things worse. Blame goes to both parties for this mess.
I hope I am not too sexist in what must be a female dominated forum, but women have not chosen to lead. I thought we would have had a dynamic selfless female president long ago. I do Believe Hillary is a far braver human being than Barack. If I were black, I would be very disappointed in the first couple. I realize Michelle is low profile to keep Barack steady and most concerned about her daughters but I am fed up with leaders who do not lead but point fingers. I abhore the Speaker, as his very face is smug and evil. This is politics, so what are people thinking in America today, besides that Worlds is coming-and discussed to death already.
Lord help us. Lincoln made me realize we once had the same back door dealing, but we had great leaders. I surely did not want Mitt, but I am so disappointed in Obama. Your thoughts on sequestration? It is clear there will be another debt ceiling fiasco. I truly feel the congress will let us become insolvent before taxing the very rich/closing loopholes to stop the hemoraghe of off shore jobs and hidden trillions that should be patriotically invested.
Are the patriots dead? Many excellent minds here. I am very frightened.
