The greatest attribute that any President could have would be the ability to get the members of the Senate and House to meet halfway and find common ground. Unfortunately, precious few of our Presidents have seen that as a virtue of their office.
BOTH sides of the aisle are guilty of strong partisanship, and most of our past Presidents have towed the line of the party they represented; rather than representing the citizens of this country that they were elected to serve. 2012 shapes up to be a continuation of the ’same old, same old’; regardless of who eventually sits in the White House.
The originators of the Constitution, the founders of freedom, and the earliest advocates of our citizenry must be rollling in their graves, Unfortunately, this ‘atmosphere’ trickles down through the states, the counties, and all municipalities.
We should ALL shed a tear for America.
