Both the Democrats and Republicans should pay close attention to the divide in this country and work TOGETHER to solve our problems. Getting 50% of the vote is not a mandate or a landslide. And control of the House does not mean you have the power to obstruct.

The irony is that the people that re-elected Obama will be least affected by the upcoming tax increases. If you pay no taxes now, you won't pay any in 2013. They get free stuff from the government and pay little or no taxes.

He's the president now for 4 years and there is nothing we can do to stop that. Let's try to compromise and get something done instead of doing nothing. I'm not rich like some Republicans but I still want to keep some of the money I work for.

I hope the lawsuit, brought by State Sen. Emanuel Jones over the wording of The Charter School amendment ballot, prevails. The question was no more relevant to the amendment than to ask "Do you like puppies?".
