Two Democrats Respond to our POTUS...

I don't like to come off all political, and lately it seems I've written some pretty harsh things about our President and his administration, but I'm so truly concerned about the state of our nation, and the future of my kids and grand kids, so I've spoken out. Yet there are always two sides to every argument so I decided to post two leading Demecratic polsters' opinions of our President and his actions. The men are Patrick Caddell, polster for President Jimmy Carter, and Doug Schoen, polster for President Bill Clinton. The article is as follows:

Obama is trying to destroy the Republican Party by dividing Americans, the two write on Politico. Caddell was President Jimmy Carter’s pollster, while Schoen served that role for President Bill Clinton.

The president’s protestations about the horror that will result from the automatic spending cuts (sequester) that began today aren’t above board, they write in Politico.

The president is obviously going all-out — but not to avoid the $85 billion in spending cuts,” Caddell and Schoen say. “Obama doesn’t want to make a deal with Republicans. His fear-mongering is part of a concerted plan that extends far beyond the sequester crisis: to obliterate the Republican Party as a viable force in American political life.”
And they offer a scathing denunciation for how Obama is going about it. “His self-righteous rhetoric obscures a bitter truth: Obama is not trying to unite the country,” the duo writes.

He’s waging a class-based battle for political gain. His goal is to win back the House for Democrats in 2014, giving him a united Congress for his last two years in office and allowing him to pursue the most expansive government in American history.”


To see even the staunchest of Democratic supporters recognize the deplorable actions of our commander-in-chief and be willing to go on record against it gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling toward these Democrats, and a glimmer of hope that, if enough get fed up on both sides of the political aisle perhaps we can fix our country despite our president...
Food for thought...
