Sorry Dad,we blew it !

If you had told me, when Obama was elected that the GOP would double down on LESS regulation of the banking industry, I would not have believed you.
If , after the biggest economic crash since 1929, you had told me that just 2 1/2 months AFTER the new government was sworn in, that the people who LOST the election would be in the streets screaming, "We've had enough!!! " and that the media would take them seriously, I would have been stunned.
If you had told me that someone like Evan Byah would threaten to FILIBUSTER his party's signature legislation, the public option, even as it was popular in HIS state and nationally, I would have thought you were wacko.
Ronald Reagan, George 41, and Bill Clinton took us to the edge while George 43 pushed us over. I thought President Obama would have thrown us a rope but I was wrong. He sends some supplies down to us but makes no move to save us. He is not the right man to be the President to bring this country into the 21st century. Mitt Romney is not that man either. Both parties serve wealth and money. They have made no plans or proposals to reduce health care or shore up the middle class. I fear we are headed backwards to the good olds 30’s where women, people of color, and the poor will be required to do the bidding and work for the upper class. I see no white knight on the horizon to help us.
We are to blame because we are too occupied with our TVs, smart tablets and phones to know what is going on. We truly are a sorry excuse for an electorate and deserve what is coming. The sad thing is that our children and grandchildren don’t.
All the work and strides made by the working man during the last half of the 20th century is going down the drain. My father and others from the greatest generation must be rolling over in their graves. Sorry Dad, we blew it.
