In every case, it was the Republicans that blocked action, making no good-faith effort to come up with solutions that would serve America.
Their political strategy for getting power back for themselves - by making you fail - mattered to them more than what the needs of the nation, or the will of the people, demanded.
What do you call the members of a political party that chooses to sacrifice the good of the nation to increase their power over it?
It would be good, Mr. President, if you could go out now and call them out for this unprecedented, disgraceful betrayal of America. But such such no-holds-barred straight talk would raise the question: "Since this has been happening from Day One, why haven't you called them out like this before?" An excellent question. But it's not the question this campaign should be about.
It should be about how to set things right now.
So you should just tell the people that if they want a government that will do the people's business, they've got to take power away from "the Party of No" that so clearly has another priority, and has made obstruction their tactic on every issue.
Give the voters a list of things we know they want done, and tell the voters that those things can get done, but only if they will reject these lock-step obstructionists and send people to Congress who want to use our system of government the way our founders intended-- not to indulge their lust for power, but to serve the nation and its people.
