Obama Draws Line On GOP Games... Hip Hip Hooray!

Dear President Obama:

I simply Love that shiny, strong Backbone you're exercising.

I sincerely hope the Dems in Congress follow that strong lead - if they haven't been before now.

And, please, don't feel bad about showing off that spine of yours - in both word and deed - because (without exception) you have gone above and beyond the call... You've shown great dedication to your goal of being Bi-Partisan. You made an exhaustive effort to work with with those "on the other side" of the aisle.  You were unwavering in your commitment to listening to the positions held by- and to considering bills proposed by GOP members of Congress... Despite their maddening practice of suddenly flip-flopping those positions:  After initially declaring support for a position or writing/sponsoring a bill, the GOP member would instantaneously and without reason flip his/her position and/or withdraw their support of a bill -  solely because they'd learned that you were in agreement with them on it.

(BTW: Utterly infantile and asinine behavior, GOP.)

The Problem?
Simply put: "Actions speak louder than words."  And, keeping that nugget of wisdom in mind, it's excruciatingly-obvious that current GOP members of Congress have made a voluntary decision to act (or decline to act) in ways that consistently show them to be militantly irrational, uncooperative and untrustworthy. And, they continue to act in this way with no regard as to how damaging their actions (or lack thereof) are and/or will be to the American people.

The Solution:
Simple: Remind yourself of the definition of "Insanity". Namely, doing the same thing over and over whilst expecting different results.
Translation...  Bi-Partisan Shmi-Partisan, Mr. President!  Ignore those Benedict Arnold windbags and simply do what you know to be The Right Thing for the Majority of America and We, the Majority of America, will Support You.
