Tonight will be President Obama's second State of the Union address to the 535 members of the United States Congress. As of now some 60 members of congress, 30 Democrats and 30 Republicans have agreed to sit together in an effort to show some sort of common cause concerning the nation's business. If you're math challenged that's roughly 6% of our elected congressmen!
Common Sense wonders does the other 93% of our elected congressional employees think that they work not for the citizens of the United States but rather for their respective political parties? If that is so is it any wonder that the nation's business doesn't get done?
Common Sense thinks it's time for our elected representatives to grow up and understand that they don't work for a political party or for the major corporate contributors that got them elected, they work for the citizens of their congressional districts and the country as a whole.
Just a common sense POV.
With a nod to Thomas Paine, Baron d'Holbach, and "Captain Obvious" perspectives on what should be, but remarkably often isn't, obvious common sense.
