Active National Assembly/'Obstructionists' National Assembly vs Rubber Stamping National Assembly!

The excuse and political low blow in America today. When a politician did not get his/her way, s/he blamed the other as obstructionist....as if that person is not elected representative of the people

No wonder African leaders such as Yahya Jammeh, override our representatives and/or ask them to stamp his will at will, where there exist no functioning institutions of democracy. 

Where America's political class is everyday looking for ways to by-pass democratic checks.....one should be very suspicious of anybody in or vying for power. 

It appear when people assume power they ran out of sanity before their back hit the backrest of the chair. 

As Senator Obama argued vehemently Republican treat to do-away with 225 year Senate Super Majority Rule (60 votes) used for many confirmations and legislature. Two weeks ago his party did just that for judicial confirmations (excluding supreme court) with his endorsement........they claimed because Republican legislature are obstructionists.

Amazing to see Obama, Baden, Hilary, Pelosi and Reid on video in 2006/7 arguing against what they supported toady. Uncheck power mixed with human nature is toxic

I have no reason to root for either party......but this time the party in power has thrown a fundamental (voice of the minority) of democracy under the bus.

Some of these actions of man made me reason we should not put our struggle on the back of any one person.....The end result of such effort will produce another tyranny.

The answer is the majority of our people has to have a requisite capacity to live a life of democracy. Some of these changes are possible in today's America because such human capacity is low mainly through complacency of citizens.

My thoughts!
