How's that "Hope and Change" working?

[willy]

Maybe, just maybe there is hope tonight that the American People can see the forest for the trees.
The Senate is now in the hands of people who will actually debate issues and vote on Bill's presented to them by the Peoples House.
Harry Reid go sit down with the rest of the scum.

Yesterday, we, the American public, sent a clear message to both parties that we do not like the president's policy's, that we do not want America to be "fundamentally changed". Over the past 6 years, the house has sent over 800 bills to the Senate. All sat in limbo because Harry Reid, acting on the presidents orders, would not let any of them come up for a vote. Now admittedly, not every bill was good, and not every bill would have passed. But the point is that none of them were even debated... none of them ever came to the floor for a vote. Hopefully with the Senate and the Congress now firmly in the hands of the Republicans that logjam will finally be cleared and Washington will actually start doing what they are getting paid to do. Do not expect every bill to be signed by the president. He still has the very powerful veto pen in his pocket. But at least if he veto's everything that comes before him the American public will see who the real party of "no" is. Let us hope and pray that he doesn't just reject everything that comes before him since we have some very real problems with this country and we need both parties working together to fix them.

Yes, I personally am elated with the election results, but I am also cognoscente of the fact that now we have an obligation and a sacred duty to try to work together and resolve some of the problems facing us. ISIS, Ebloa, Keystone, Immigration, & Minimum wage are just a few of them. The time for politics is over. The real work begins now!

an update on that hope and change bs. We got our revised summary for health insurance for next year, it will be $1142 per month for me and my two daughters at $5000 deductible/out of pocket per year. Before O care, it was $546 per month with a $1000 deductible/out of pocket. I want to personally thank all the asshats that voted for this crap, you can show your appreciation by making a monthly payment to my personal account to offset my increased premiums. I take cash check and paypal. Before any one suggest it, we make too much money to get the subsidies and because of my daughters health history I'm not taking any chance by shopping another company. Changes are coming again for the health care industry and its not going to get any better. I blame all who voted for this crap.
