President Obama, Speaker Pelosi and the "House of Cards"

Well here we are again....at the crossroads of American politics, rhetoric AND (depending on party affiliation) an agenda. It seems that one side or the other as well as the Speaker of The House have their own versions of the health care reform bill due for a vote on Sunday....I believe it is at HIGH NOON at the earliest. The President states; "Yes we can." All the while the American people are saying; "No we don't." Then there is the House Speaker for whatever reason fails to get her point across with the American people. I guess that is why the congressional job approval rating is in the single digits. Where did all those great House Speakers like Tip O'Neil, Sam Rayburn, John McCormack and Jim Wright? Why don't we have these stellar individuals serving today.....speaking for the American People? Why? The American People are 'fed up' with the way issues are being handled and dealt. It is like-minded individuals suchlike Nancy Pelosi who are jamming issues like the Health Care Bill down our throats like a nurse practitioner taking a throat culture!

The Congress and yes even our illustrious White House gang of cohorts need to be dealt with as in "voted out of office!" We need new people, new faces and with fresh bold ideas who aren't afraid to make hard decisions and not those based on the needs of the special interests (who claim they are for the American People), to ascertain 'earmarks' and 'special funding' for pet projects in their state; "Are ya getting this Sen. Nelson?" "You to Senator Reid-NV." Oooops! Sorry. He'll be leaving soon anyway, my bad.

The "Houses of Cards" needs to come tumbling down by a special vote on term limits. No, I'm not saying enact special legislation that requires a limit on number of years served or for what terms. The American People (us), we have that right to delegate term limits whenever you or I go into a voting booth. We never needed Harry Truman to enact legislation for a President to serve no more than two four-year terms, we as a people..."We the People" could always taken care of that. But, the politicians did it for us with their (our) special interests in mind and as to further state the prevention of an 'imperialist' Presidency.

President Obama does have some time left. The remaining time he has left shall be his 'presidential proof in the pudding' so-to-speak. If he can get the economy going again and strong, create millions of new jobs, reduce the price of gas and relieve the average consumer of cost burdens, reduce our dependency on foreign oil, deal strongly with Iran, take on China, pay down our national debt, tackle and resolve our enormous immigration problem, REDUCE TAXES, improve our children's education/our schools, have us as a free nation not be so indebted (if ever again) to China and drastically improve our national image at home and abroad. If he can do all that....he might....HE MIGHT be re-elected. As it stands right now....its doubtful. The House of Cards will come tumbling down like a game of "52 Pick-Up." In this case, it might be "435 Pickup Plus Two."
