Partisan Politics

Disclaimer:  In this post I refer specifically to civilian political issues.  I intend no disrespect to the President who is in my chain of command (who I actually have a lot of respect for as a leader), I'm just addressing political issues.

  Well, that being said, now you know I'm going into some dangerous ground here.  Now, I'm more peeved with Congressman Eric Cantor for what he said in response to Pres. Obama's challenge to put aside the circus side shows and get down to serious business.  But, Mr. President, shouldn't you consider the implications of blatantly challenging the Republicans over something like this?  I myself vote Republican a lot, and I find that only your most conservative elements of society actually give a rat's derriere about your birth certificate. 
  I have to agree with Rep. Paul Broun of GA somewhat.  I do agree with the Pres. for shutting up the "birthers" finally.  Since they were able to enlist a big name to make a stink about it all, I'm glad this is finally out of the air.  But I do agree with others that there are more imortant issues to deal with, like the budget, energy policies, foreign issues, and the like.  I blame the hardcore birthers who dragged this issue out for so long.  That was low.
  Rep. Broun, would you be so kind as to actually sit down with the President and work out some decent compromises over the issues at hand?
