We have serious problems and we need a serious Congress to fix them.

It would be a disastrous mistake to put the obstructionist, Tea Party Republicans back in charge of the next Congress. It is they, not the President, that has made the economy much worse. They have blocked and obstructed everything this President has proposed. It is a miracle we are doing as well as we are at the present time.

People that rant and rave against government are hardly the people to fix problems that only the government can fix. Government is not evil. The "government" is we the people. We need a Congress that can work together and reach some sort of compromise on the huge problems we are facing.

The voters would be wise to look at the Congress if they want real change in the next election. The present bunch are good for nothing and that is what they have accomplished - nothing. And nothing will change until we send this bunch back home.

The problem is that a significant amount of the voters in this country love shooting themselves in the foot and whining about it and blaming the President and Democrats later. Letting the repubs win the House and more seats in the Senate was a huge mistake a lot of the middle class made and we are all paying for it.
