JUST DO SOMETHING!!!

Our political leaders just don't get it. They do NOTHING! I am pointing this at everyone. The President, the Democrats, the Republicans, the Tea Party and Independents all have to do something. As far back as I can remember I was taught by my parents, then my football coach, then a Chief Petty Officer in the Navy and finally during my days as a member of management in retail and Bank of America, the worst action is inaction. Make a decision, have a plan and then execute it. When you make your decision use the facts around you, but then ACT. Don't sit on your butts and worry about the outcome. Act. Right now Washington and the leaders around our fifty states are paralyzed by indecision. They do nothing out of fear. That is right, fear. They fear that if they do the wrong thing our economy will get very bad. Hey, late breaking news, it can't get much worse. Our 401k's are in the tank. The value of our homes are in free fall and sinking. People cannot get jobs and if they get one, the pay is terrible. Unemployment is running out and no new jobs are on the horizon. What in the hell do they think they could do to make it worse?
     Our fearless leaders have spent the last couple of years blaming each other. Now I ask you, do you really give a damn anymore who did what. Yes, the economy tanked under George Bush and the Republicans and Democrats. There, I believe that every person in the entire free world knows who to blame. Guess what, I now want some leadership to move us forward. I want the entire Congress to realize that everyone, let me repeat that, EVERYONE has to give up something to right the American ship. We have to give up deductions on taxes and the companies have to give up their tax credits. We have to strengthen Social Security, Medicaid and  Medicare so it does not ruin the country. That does not mean we give it up, notice I said strengthen it. We have to end two ridiculous wars. We have to create good paying jobs and make a workers rights strong again. We have to build. We have to innovate. We have to see leadership from our President. Where are you Mr. President. Where is your plan and direction. John Boehner, where is your leadership? Get the house under control and do what is needed for the country. Harry Reid, where is your leadership? Get the Senate to quit talking and start action and move forward.
    Right now we are a ship adrift in the ocean. No captain at the helm and we are moving, but without a course to direct us. I voted for Barrack Obama. I do not regret that vote, yet. Mr President it is time to really show what a leader can do. Push the agenda of JOBS, and then more JOBS, and after that more JOBS. That will start us forward. The President, the Speaker and the Senate Leader must start now and make the decisions we need to move forward. The lack of action will destroy us. Fear will decimate us. Inaction is the sign of weakness. Action is the sign of leadership. LEAD!
