Last Tuesday was the official polling that may show Obama trying to be stopped cold in his tracks. This last Tuesday the voting shows that many voted for a wave of republicans back in office. Obama and the elected in republicans agree they could find common ground on education, energy, free trade, deficit reduction and earmark reform, and possibly even a few tweaks to the health care law.
Details are going to be exactly what stops these so called “in theory” agreement. This is where it becomes tough to be on the opposite side of either democratic or republican. It is like seeing two feet in front of you with a blizzard of agreements and allowing it to continuously snow for yet another 2 more years.
“We’re determined to stop the agenda Americans have rejected,” Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Wednesday. “We’ll work with the administration when they agree with the people and confront them when they don’t.” Mitch McConnel continued. No deadlock gridlock agreements have been placed as of yet. These options continue to stay open and after no faulty agreements, than it may become a possibility to be locked in for the future.
“The question’s going to be, Can Democrats and Republicans sit down together and come up with a set of ideas that address those core concerns?” Obama stated at his honorary post-election news conference Wednesday. “I’m confident that we can.” Let’s hope both parties don’t put the entire government to a dead halt, but instead decide what’s in the best interest for both parties at hand.
The one concern that both parties may just agree on is taxes. Neither party wants to see these dreadful annoyances go up New Years Day 2011. Now we just need the best incentive out there to actually get something done. Leaving our government up to both parties at the same time is no laughing matter to say the least. Instead it’s a gift for the U.S. To see how both parties can not only handle each other, but prosper as well.
