Republican Long-term Strategy
Sabotage Obama’s Presidency

By Rick Grant   Commentary

President Obama’s recent Health Care Summit, which was all day campaign to foster bipartisan support for his Health Care Bill and other administration initiatives, bombed. When the dust cleared, it’s clear that Republicans are determined to sabotage Obama’s presidency by refusing to either cooperate or offer viable alternatives to Obama’s agenda.

The all-day televised powwow featured Obama visably holding back his frustration and anger dealing with Republican resistence to his suggestions that they were not too far away from agreement on the Health Care Bill.

Obama bristled when McCain brought up old campaign rhetoric, saying,”John the campaign is over, lets move on.” McCain quipped that “I’m aware of that every day.” Yes, the bitterness of the campaign still bothers McCain and other Rebublicans. They think, “Obama is president and I’m not. Dammit!

Yes, the Republicans have dug in until the mid-term elections. The uptight swine of the GOP have indicated, not so subtlety, that they want to scrap the Health Care Bill that is before them and start over. Obama countered by saying he was against that because the American people deserve health care reform now, not years from now.

And so it went for the 8 hour meeting with contentious wrangling which ended in the same way all these get-togethers end–with nothing getting accomplished. It’s all theater of the absurd.
The truth is: It’s war on the hill between the conservative GOP block and Obama’s administration. Obama’s efforts to affect change and move ahead with health care and job stimulation has been thwarted at every contact between parties.

So while the GOP is at war with the Obama administration, the American people are getting screwed out of representation on the Hill. Gridlock on the Hill means we the people are losing our voice in our government.

Indeed, Obama is pissed off and frustrated by the GOP’s wall of resistence. How can he do his job when all the GOP wants to do is shutdown our government?

What’s the GOP’s end game? Win significant Republican elections in November that would upset the balance of power. Ultimately, as the GOP’s evil stepchild, Dick Cheney said, the GOP wants to make sure Obama is a one term president.

The nasty little gnome Dick Chaney says the things that the elected Republicans will not say, but think. So they send out Chaney to make the waves for them. He’s in limbo and they have axes to grind.

Overall, the swine of the Hill are not representing the people’s interests. They are working to raise money by gaining corporate support for their upcoming elections.

Our system of democratic government has been skewered by our elected officials’ self interest and greed. The machinery of the Hill is shutdown by the marauding Visigoths of power. 

In the face of the acrimony on the hill, Obama can only work every day to affect change and move ahead with his agenda. If that means the so called “reconciliation” by pushing through the Health Care Bill without GOP support, so be it.

So what do we the people do about this shutdown government? Get mad as hell and not take it anymore. Let’s stage a million people march on Washington and not leave until we make our point.
