    Random Recitals

    Gridlock Can Be A Good Thing

    A Democratic President and a Republican Congress will be good for the country.  Total gridlock will mean special interests will not be able to get any legislation passed, a much better outcome than we have today.

    Lead From The Heart And Forget Bi-Partisanship

    President Obama should not listen to the cries to “lead from the center” and he should forget completely about bi-partisanship with regard to his priorities. I never thought I would say this but the President needs to take a lesson from Bush II. Do you remember any articles in the mainstream media saying Bush should lead from the center?
