Dear Pres. Obama and Speaker Boehner:
As a concerned American citizen, I watched both of your speeches last night concerning the Debt Ceiling/Budget issues. I have to say that I was completely disgusted with both of your speeches. Both speeches were nothing but partisan rhetoric speaking “the company line.”
The American people did not elect both of you to “do nothing.” If 2 soldiers spent this much time arguing how to handle a military issue, people would die, and they would be held accountable. When teachers disagree with the status quo, they are seen as ineffective and they are fired. When executives of companies can’t reach an agreement, they are replaced. Why should your positions be any different?
We Americans are tired of the political bantering and empty promises. I’m sure you’ll both read this and say that the problem is from the “other person.” And that is exactly what I am addressing.
You and your parties are holding the American population and the population of the entire world as hostages to your ideological finger pointing. Do you not realize lives and livelihoods are at stake here?
I urge both of you to imagine the lives of regular Americans and come to an agreement rather than using your ultimatums and scare tactics. Your current behavior makes me ashamed to call either of you “leaders” of our nation.
