Time to tell the GOP to go to hell.

Maybe Barack Obama is waking up. And taking charge, for a change. He's vowed to veto any deficit plan that comes out of Congress if it doesn't contain tax increases. Yes, he's gonna insist that the rich people start paying their fair share. He's telling Republicans to take it or leave it. Wonderful. Obama is doing the dictating. Calling the shots. He should have done that long ago. Better late than never. It's a sign that Obama has decided he ain't gonna turn the other cheek for the umpteenth time. He's saying enough is enough. Of course, Republicans most likely will stick to their guns. And insist on no tax increases. Because Republicans aren't truly interested in saving the nation. And government. They don't believe in give-and-take. They want all or nothing. Rather than give Obama a victory, they'd take the nation down with them. But the nation can still be saved. In the 2012 elections. If Americans wake up. And tell the Republicans to go to hell. --Jim Broede
