(3,335 posts)Lately I've been coming home turning on the tv, only to turn it off again because all they are talking about is 2016 and Obamacare.
I agree with everything you've said, but more importantly, if everyone's looking to 2016 three years down the road, than no one is holding the current do nothing obstructionists responsible for doing nothing. It's like the lame stream media has found it acceptable that a Congress will have gone 8 years and done absolutely nothing but obstruct and nullified the people's vote in two legitimate elections.
The media is incapable of ciphering through the phony scandal of the month and reporting on the bigger scandal and that is how one party of so called patriots has been scheming from before inauguration day 2009 to nullify the results of a legitimate election, to the detriment of this nation, and this nation's economy, because they didn't get their way. And instead of reporting factually on all the shenanigans that the Rethugs have been up to, the lame stream media plays this false equivalency bull crap, while Rome burns. We have people in their early 50s who may never work again, and college grads who can't find work because the Rethugs don't want to give this President anything that smells like a victory, not matter how small.
It would behoove the Dems in Congress to remember that we will hang together or we will hand separately. You can't count on the media to report the truth, and the GOP doesn't know what the truth looks like. So change is going to have to come from outside of Washington, and we have got to be mad as hell, and not going to take it anymore.
