The Arrogance of Power

For those that dislike the US Congress please remember that we are not alone in the world with politicians that are really only interested in consolidating and maintaining their power base.

I agree with you 100% about the congress. They just keep on doing what they are doing despite the fact that only about 11% of the country thinks they are doing a good job.

Other places have their issues as well. In Russia Vladimir Putin has been quoted as stating that he believes that the old Soviet Union should be put back together which would fix things in that country. Oh for the good old days of the Cold War.

In Syria the government has been firing on its own citizens when they protest. They then deny it vehemently even when presented with pictures and videos showing it happening.

Never forget that it could always be worse. That being said, Congress is absolutely doing a horrible job. A number of Congressional Leaders have publicly stated that their job is to make sure that President Obama is a one term president.

Come election day 2012 please make sure you all remember that in order for us to move ahead and bring prosperity back to the ones that have lost it and to finally let those that never had it to enjoy it, we need to vote out the whole kit and caboodle of them and bring in all new.

Remember that we have that option. As arrogant and self righteous as our politicians are, I can not see them sic'ing the military on on the public as has been done elsewhere.

We badly need to move forward and fix the mess that we are in as soon as we can but keeping everyone in office will just maintain the status quo we will have the same issues after the election.
