Dear Speaker Boehner:
You said, “Instead of working together to fix our
broken immigration system, the president says he’s acting on his own. That’s
just not how our democracy works. The president has said before that ‘he’s not
king’ and he’s ‘not an emperor,’ but he’s sure acting like one. And he’s doing
it a time when the American people want nothing more than for us to work
together.”
While I agree with your statement, I also need to remind you that upon
Obama's inauguration the Republicans publicly proclaimed that it would NOT
approve anything Obama wanted and the GOP also promised that it would NOT
cooperate nor compromise with Obama.
So, the GOP first decided to become renegades and now the President is
determined to be a renegade.
Neither party has worked in the best interests of American citizens and the
President acts in the same absurd way. There is a reason that Congress has a 14
percent approval rating.
Neither party is innocent during the past 2 decades. Neither party has
offered to compromise and meet in the middle on various issues. Consequently,
both parties have failed American citizens and continue to do so.
Change your tactics and work together. Stop blaming each other. You are
both at fault.
Peter Stern
