Earlier this week the House passed the stimulus bill with no G.O.P. votes.
Not a one. Partisan politics are alive and well. The Democrats and Republicans have been ideologically opposed on most major fronts for as long as I can remember.
The American public itself is divided too. There has been much talk of red states and blue states. President Obama was elected with 52% of the popular vote. A victory for sure but far from a land united.
Progressive ideas are needed to move forward in the 21st century. Leadership is possible when people are willing to be led. The times call for swift action, decisive meausres, and pragmatic solutions.
I wonder if the strokes will be bold enough to overcome the sheer folly of it all.
