I think it is time to talk about the real enemies of America?

[kentuck]

They were ready to vote down the President if he had asked for a vote to strike Syria. Also, if he had not asked the Congress, they were ready to impeach him. They had the President cornered.

But then, Voila!

A diplomatic option opened up. Congress said Obama and Kerry stumbled upon an escape route. Putin said he would be acceptable to international controls of Assad's chemical weapons. The Republicans were not happy about it one little bit.

On top of all this, they have refused to override the sequester. They have threatened to shut down the government if "Obamacare" is funded. They are again threatening to not extend the debt limit. They seem to have forgotten the effect it had the last time they tried it?

John Boehner, the Speaker, has refused to bring the Democrats into any votes at all if there are not 218 Republicans supporting the bill, any bill. In effect, with the divisions within their own Party, they have shut down our government. They are doing nothing but occupy their seats and even that is at a very minimum amount of time.

So, at this time, the Russians and Putin are not our enemy. The real enemies are down the street from the White House.

1. But, but bipartisanship! Reach across the aisle!

Voters kicked the shit out of the GOP in 2006 and 2008

How did they get back?

3. The true enemies of the state, imo, are every right-wing person, policy, and action designed

to obstruct governance or failing to promote the general welfare of the nation and its people.

obstruct governance or fail to promote the general welfare of the nation and its people.

They do not get elected on their own it takes lots of enablers who are just as guilty as those in Congress.

4. and they are in every state house across the country.

i still say obama knew what he was doing when it came to the vote issue and he used the big stick to get russia to tell assad to pony up.

5. I think the President is on the right path with Syria...

I hope he can ignore the criticisms and stick with what is in his heart.

7. Our brain dead citizens

If the American citizens can think back to the time Bush the elder was ruining the country maybe we could a grip on things and figure out why 911 happened. Bush and our congress allowed American troops to invade Kuwait/Iraq kill or murder thousands of innocent men, women and children. The justification for the invasion was to free the Kuwait what a mind blowing lie and the public bought the lie. The president mumbled something about democracy in the middle east while he and our congress continued to ignore Israel's behavior. The Arabs/Persians/Muslims are not as stupid as the west seem to think. We need to take responsible for our actions around the world, just as the Original people( Indians ) said centuries ago " White man speak with forked tongue " Wake up America we have suffered more than enough because of lies.
