Need to get country breathing again

Posted July 21, 2009 11:00 pm

The Democrats are again, looking out the rearview mirror instead of watching the road ahead. They are now going to look into Bush's war policy. Isn't this old news? If Bush bent the constitution, then Congress should have done something then, not now.

Just maybe they ought to check President Obama's takeover of private industry and the creation of "czars" to report directly to him, circumventing Congress. This country has survived for over 200 years with the drive of entrepreneurs who built companies and employed thousands. We cannot afford to put everyone on an"equal footing." Then those who will not work will live off of those who do.

What Congress needs to do now, is to try to get this country breathing again. Let them save this nation, not the world. We also do not have to apologize to our neighbors across the sea for helping them out of two world wars and many catastrophes.
