We know the Republicans are obstructionists, intent on destroying Obama's presidency and doing all they can in the process to help their wealthy friends cash in on the goodies.
But did you see the latest from congressional Democrats?
Incensed over President Obama’s tax compromise, House Democratic leaders are showing signs of abandoning the administration and going their own way on critical issues such as national security.
In a striking move, the Appropriations Committee late Wednesday attached a provision to a $1.1 trillion resolution to keep the government funded next year that would prevent Obama from spending any funds to try terrorism suspects in civilian court instead of military commissions.
The language would essentially prevent the closing of the detainee prison at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba.
So in order to punish Obama for negotiating with the Republicans on the tax deal - they're going to side with those same Republicans by tying the hands of DOJ in prosecuting terror suspects and making it impossible to shut down Guantanamo. Yeah, that makes alot of sense...not.
Seriously, I don't get it.
Right now, if the Democrats had any ounce of awareness - they'd recognize that the majority of people in the country are with them on the issues that are in front of Congress (ie, tax cuts, DADT repeal, unemployment insurance, Start Treaty, etc.) and they'd be making a case together (there's the operative word) that Democrats are better able to govern. But instead, their egos got damaged and they're striking out at "Daddy" in a way that can only remind one of 2 year olds.
I've had enough for now. I'm going to chill and listen to the wisdom of Mary J. Blige...no more drama!!!!!!
