Politics: my annoying love

I grew up watching CNN and listening to talk radio (AM) it was so lame! lol These moments are the ones I shared with my father throughout most of my childhood. I remember always being excited for current events convos in class because I always knew what was going on in the world. Many people hate politics but as nasty and as complicated as it can get, it is a MAJOR part of functioning America. So from time to time I will give you some stories and my comments. Just take a looksee and see where you stand... "If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything" -Unknown


Below is a link to an opinion piece by CNN Political Analyst Rowland Martin. I respect his opinion but do not always agree with him. This article is bout Pres. Obama taking charge in congress. Although it annoys me that Martin refers to this as "going gansta" I concur. I strongly feel as though our President is often disrespected by all sides of the government. Being a decision maker is never an easy job, however he is the American equivalent to a King. I believe it is time for him to put his fist down and go for the goal, no matter who jumps on his bandwagon or not. In regards to the recess issue in Congress, I'm sure that is a strategy to prolong voting for bills that are not in favor to the opposite side. Pres. Obama should by all means make necessary appointments during the recess to get American business handled. After all that is the point of government, right?!?
