In the days since the elections, I have seen articles and news features that discuss at great length the presidential election of 2012. All I can say to the press is STOP!!! It is important that we as a country not view everything that happens through the lens of the 2012 presidential election. There are too many serious problems facing the country to get caught up in another endless round of electioneering. It would serve the country and all Americans to put the 2012 election aside as a topic of discussion and deal instead with a discussion of how to overcome the obstacles in the country’s path. Let’s start with a debate about what to do NOW to help revive the economy. We can follow that with a debate about whether or not to repeal Obamacare. Oh, let’s not forget the nukes soon to be appearing in Iran under the control of that country’s nutjob government. Maybe we could also talk about how to cut off the flow of illegals entering the USA. Maybe it would be a good time to talk about restructuring Social Security and medicare to insure that these programs will still be around in ten or twenty years. Bringing down the deficit is another big subject to address. In 2011, each of these subjects is a hell of lot more important than the jockeying for position with regard to the presidential election.
