What's Up In Politics?

       I'm a little confused on a couple of things. Of course my being confused isn't all that unusual. Thought I'd say that before somebody else did. But here's the thing, Congress and the Speaker of the House want to sue the President for overstepping his authority by doing things the Congress seems unable and unwilling to do. But I think every President in history has done things on his own. I wonder if the President shouldn't countersue Congress for not doing what Congress should do?
       It all seems to be a childish game that one side has agreed to play while the other side seems uninterested. You could say the President is acting like the adult in the room, but actually I'm not sure he is. In politics, if a claim is made by one side, no matter how silly it may be, if it remains unanswered and is continually stated, the uninformed public, which includes a majority of both parties, will come to believe it.
       The normal response to such silly statements is either to point out how silly it is while denying it, or countering with your own silly accusations of the offending party. Either way it usually ends up as a verbal brawl in which even the normally uninformed don't believe either side.
       Now for the Conservatives, they've been busy throwing mud all over the walls hoping something will stick, but for some reason the Progressives (liberals) haven't seemed to have gotten their act together as yet. Of course it may be that the Conservatives have hired all the clever ad writers and left nobody for the Liberals, or more likely, the Liberals haven't decided just what to throw yet. That or they don't have the millions the Conservatives have to invest.
       What is obvious is that a silent President Obama is far less effective than a vociferous Speaker of the House and several dozen other Conservatives, all preaching the same litany of silliness. The President doesn't look superior and above the nonsense, he looks inept and uncaring. His approach is hurting his party, his legacy and the country. We need a strong two party system. Actually, when you think about it, both parties are proving to be less than positive.
