It's Obama's Fault!

Before I begin, I'd like to apologize for not posting on Friday and Monday. I've been really busy as of late, and I've been unable to find the time to write a quality post. But today, I'd like to talk about something that shocked me to my core. I knew that the two parties in our legislature will stop at nothing to bring the other down, but I cam across an article that completely astonished me. Let me tell you about it.

Just this morning, I was looking through some new articles, trying to find a suitable topic to write about. I found an article on the Chicago Tribune, entitled "Blaming President Obama for everything". I thought to myself, "Well isn't that true?". And so I opened it. And from the first paragraph, I was disgusted by the facts being presented to me. It states, that 22% of Louisiana Republicans believe that the poor response to Hurricane Katrina was caused directly by the actions of Barack Obama. Another 44% said that they thought that President Obama had a partial role in the poor response. Are you kidding me? How can anyone in their right mind even come across the remote notion that Barack Obama was responsible for this. Using that kind of logic, I suppose that Barack Obama was responsible for the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, the Great Depression, anything bad that has happened, just blame it on Obama.

Now although I may sound like a crazed bleeding heart liberal, believe me, I'm not. The same problem exists on both sides. Democrats are just as willing to blame Republicans for anything bad that ever happens. If you can remember to the days of the Bush Presidency, you may remember that in the eyes of Democrats, he simply couldn't do anything right. He was constantly ridiculed, and labeled as an uneducated country schmuck. This is just as egregious as anything that has been said against Obama. And that, may friends, is the fundamental problem. We, as a nation, have a fundamental flaw in our political system. We find the need to blame the other party for everything and anything that goes wrong. Long gone are the days of the bipartisan deals, and moderation. It seems like there are no moderates anymore, and the political picture has come to be dominated by the far left and far right. Every time I watch the news, I see a headline about a MSNBC anchor making racist comments towards Mitt Romney's family, or a Tea Partier saying ridiculous statements. This has gone too far.

We as a nation, simply cannot continue like this. We must realize, that above all, we are all Americans. We must think together, and think for what is best for our nation. We mustn't let party lines divide us. As John F. Kennedy stated an eternity ago, "Ask not what your country can do for you, Ask what you can do for your country."
