With the changing of the guard in the House Speaker's job, now is a good time to pause and ask: "Is real and positive change just around the corner? Is it actually beginning?"
John Boehner did a fine job of holding the Republican House together, but that's about all he did. During his tenure, the GOP talked a good talk, but failed to make the walk. I cannot think of one single major issue that Obama did not win, regardless of what the Republican base or the rest of the country wanted. The House rolled over and played dead so many times that they were constantly having to change the worn-out carpet.
Politics as usual seems to have come to a screeching halt when you look at what is going on in the presidential race. All of the traditional maxims about running for office and how to best win have been tossed up the chimney. The continued insistence of the American public that we have to stop this relentless nonsensical culture that has permeated Washington seems to be sending a loud and clear message that the cavalier attitudes of our elected officials will no longer be tolerated.
Perhaps, for a welcome change, the winds are finally blowing in a positive direction for the country. Now, it's up to us to keep the momentum going.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
