The voters figured out anti-Obama strategy

It is really simple. The Republican House thought they could ruin President Obama’s re-election by blocking any and all actions he submitted to solve the nation’s problems, thereby claiming he was the problem. That did not work because the people figured it out.

The Republicans gave us an eight-year war financed on a credit card, and then have the gall to blame that debt on Obama. The Republicans refuse to tax the rich, who can afford to hire tax experts to manipulate the system. The Republicans voted for the sequester bill, and now deny doing that. And now they do not care what happens to us folk out here who depend on basic government services, just so long as Obama does not get credit for solving our problems.

If you voted Republican you are reaping the result.

The Republican governors are creating problems, instead of solving them. In the last election, they wanted voter ID and short time to vote, just to suppress the vote. They are going after unions, because unions usually support the Democrats. They can’t win votes on the merits of what their policies are. The policy of being against everything Barack Obama stands for, is getting old hat, and they need to be voted out of office.

In last Friday’s column, I wrote that the Obama administration has no plan to avoid the sequester save raising taxes on the rich. That was unfair. The White House approach is not what I would like, but it is more balanced than I described.
