Remember these folks?
The President did his job.
The Simpson-Bowles Commission (click title to entry - thank you) ended its work in December of 2010. What's the problem already?
The President doesn’t write and pass legislation. He is the Executive Branch that carries out the business of the nation. Doesn’t Speaker Boner know who and where the Treasury Secretary is? Did he call for a commission regarding the debt and deficit as the President did? When is the House going to pass the bill that increases the debt ceiling of the USA? They haven’t sent a competent bill to the President to sign yet. When is that going to happen? The bills the House is passing are political action messages and not legislation this country can live with. When will the House pass a bill the Senate will vote for?
GOVERNING is not about having a temper tandrum or demanding what extremists want, it is about writing and passing competent and independently produced legislation free of cronyism, deceptions and TRAPS that citizens will become ensnared in.
What seems to be the problem? Don't know how? I doubt the President has time to give seminars or classes on how to accomplish it.
Why doesn't Boner ask Secretary Geithner to come and address the House? That might be important right now.
