The President's Speech

As we looked at President Obama's speech last night, two things are clear: the man can give a good speech and that Washington is broken. Plainly evident was the fact that any hope of any compromise is gone, as each side has taken cover and is ready for a fight. It is disappointing that at each turn, each side is ready, willing and able to personally and professionally insult those on the other side of the aisle. It is a shame that one of the most precious gifts our forefathers gave to us, our government, has turned into a fourth grade shouting match. Just because someone does something wrong or does something that you do not agree with should not be looked at as an opportunity for insult and belittlement.
