When I started this Blog, my intention was to write about the current activity with regards to our national politics. Naively, I thought that I could delve into current issues somewhat in-depth and discuss how I, as a moderate, viewed what was happening. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine the complete deluge of information being spewed from Washington on an HOURLY basis. It is IMPOSSIBLE to keep up with this constant barrage. Information is changing in real time and by the time I get around to composing my thoughts, I'm completely talking about old news.
The thoughtful, measured deliberation by our elected officials on issues both foreign and domestic seems to no longer exist. While there has long been an acknowledgement that Washington fails to get much done a lot of the time, this crazy pace for trying to tick off a laundry list of actions cannot be good either. The one thing I can say for sure is that everyone is blaming everyone else for whatever perceived wrong. The new national pastime seems to be watching the blame game between all of us.
The President blames the Media, Congress, Judges and the Obama administration for anything he doesn't agree with.
Congress blames the President and each other for anything they don't agree with.
Citizens blame the President, Congress, the Obama administration, and the Media for anything they don't agree with.
GOOD GRAVY!! I'm going to have to modify my attempts to discuss political issues to a broader picture since it would appear that I will not succeed at keeping up with the frantic pace that we're now living in.
This country needs a vacation (and maybe a stiff drink).
Or two stiff drinks!
