Alas, the reelection of Obama is over and Congress remains divided, the country remains divided. The true power of our country comes when we are united and when we stand together, not when we are a splintered, quarreling mob.

Americans are now more aware than ever that we have got to take serious actions to fix what is broken. The people know we have taxed and spent our great nation into horrible, unsustainable debt.  Social Security and medical care must be made financially solvent.

We hire presidents to lead our country and fix what is broken. Our president can spend the next four years continuing to divide us, or he can begin to bring us together for the common good. So far, teamwork and togetherness by the president’s administration seems to be a foreign concept.
