Time To Stop Wasting Time.

       As near as I can determine, all of Washington is completely fixated on the Iraq crisis. There are calls for Obama to step down, there's even calls for his entire National Security team to be fired. There were calls for former Gen. David Petraeus  to make recommendations. At least until he made a speech in which he suggested we stay out of it, militarily.
       All of this talk is important stuff, but it doesn't address the most important stuff. Nobody seems to be trying to figure out how to help the poor, middle class and unemployed. It's the economy stupid! Now if the reason for not working on it is because they don't know what to do or how to get it passed in Congress, then there's a really simple solution. All these folks who don't know how to solve the problems or how to get them passed need to step down themselves.
       The thing we all have to remember is that all these folks in Washington were sent there to serve our needs. We supposedly picked smart people to lead us, but if they can't do that, then we need to replace them. Now I don't expect to hear them all break out in a round of Kum-Ba-Yah around the campfire, but I do expect them to honestly and earnestly work on these problems. The thing is, you can't hate the President or your opposite number and actually do the job you're there for.
       Now if the problem is that the electorate doesn't want to worry about the poor, middle class or unemployed, then these good folks, who mostly profess to be Christians, need to read the bible. Especially the first book of John, chapter three, verse 17. No, not the gospel of John, John's first letter. Read it over several times to be sure you understand it. Then, like it or not, you ought to follow that advise. Thus endeth my preaching. Back in Washington, those folks need to begin to do the work they were selected to do. Or we need to replace them. Pay attention class.
