I want to commend you on the patience and restraint it must've taken to walk the "middle path" over these debt negotiations. I admire what seems like your intense wish to be bi-partisan, too, and I know that you must feel almost overwhelmed sometimes, as though there isn't an answer.
For all your good efforts, I feel like now is the time to take conscious and deliberate action. Your predecessors have used Executive Orders many times, and although I know that they were frequently beat on for having done so, I feel as though this situation merits such an action more than any other has. I also believe that you MUST use a "recess appointment" for the wonderful Elizabeth Warren to head up the new Consumer Agency. I know you want to think that there is a bi-partisan way to achieve all this without taking the "nuclear option", but I strongly believe that not to be the case.
Yes, you WILL hear about using either and both of these methods-but you will hear about it anyway. The other side has made it their raison d'etre' to make you a "1 term President" as you know. Nothing you do will escape their reproach, but they and their obstructionist tendencies (not to mention their treasonous tendencies in trying to hold us all hostage so that the country will fall under their control) must NOT be allowed to control the conversation anymore.
They have shown themselves to be autocrats and despots rather than Patriots; and you surely know that the only way for bad to succeed is for good people like yourself to do nothing. YOU MUST ACT-decisively, incisively and FAST.
Please-if you allow them to call the tune now, this country will never again be free from their control, and we will all be held hostage whenever the other side wishes to get their way. This is not a party-centric conversation...I frankly consider myself a member of neither party. Anyone can see, though, what the GOP is trying to do, and it will cause no less than the total destruction of our Democracy and the surrender of this Great Country to the wealthy and unprincipled, to the fanatic and uncompassionate. This country MUST be better than that-to be a great country once again, we must relearn how to be a GOOD country.
Please, Mr. Obama-help us become a GOOD country once again. I realize there is an election on the horizon; but right now, it is the fate of America that matters.
Respectfully,
Nevada S. Huaute

This entry, as all of my entries, is completely my work (with the exception of links and shares) and is my opinion alone. I don’t mind a bit if people disagree with me; all I ask is that you do it in a reasonably civil fashion, out of respect for all intelligent, decent humans. Thanks!
