Minneapolis mayor's line at the DNC this week, "pyromaniacs shouldn't blame the firefighter" does a pretty good job of conveying my feelings on the Republicans' blame of our President for the economic troubles of our country.
Seriously?! The attitude: we messed it up something fierce, but let us fix it. We'll ignore the fact that the recovery is real, albeit very slow. Not only did we start the house fire, but when the American people fairly elected you firefighter, at every step of the way, we locked the doors and kicked you in the face when you tried to come in and put the fire out. In fact, we flat out said that our priority was to make sure you lost your job as firefighter. Not to help you clean up the mess and get the house rebuilt, but to make sure you didn't keep your job. You'd think we would have cared more about the place that was on fire. Once we stymied most of your efforts, we blamed you for the fact that only part of the fire had been controlled and now we think people will believe we're well qualified to put out the rest of the fire that we started.
I do think the Chief will be re-elected. I only hope he gets some good backup in Congress so we can make some real progress this time around.
Amen sister. Shine a light on it, bring the hoses to show our support. I can only hope & pray your last paragraph comes to fruition. It scares the hell out of me if it goes the other way.
