			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I watched the State of the Union. I&#8217;ve watched the GOP response. I&#8217;ve watched the President and the GOP&#8217;s Q &amp; A session.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve read the articles and comments. The supporters and non-supporters and the usual pack of idiots who keep insisting on throwing around terms like communism, socialism, fascism and Marxism when they have absolutely no clue of what those terms actually mean. I watched and read for the past 2 days and I have come to this conclusion:</p>
<p>Politics is the single most crippling force in the US government today and this country will fail because of it before the decade is out.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not going to get into all the details, why bother? It&#8217;s all over the news and various blogs anyway. But as far as my opinion of Obama goes, I truly believe that the man is genuinely  concerned for the welfare and the future of this country and it&#8217;s people, that&#8217;s the feeling I get from the man. But the other feeling I get that overrides everything else is that no matter who&#8217;s in charge or what their intentions might be, it&#8217;s simply too late now.</p>
<p>It feels like they&#8217;re just beating a (almost) dead horse to me.</p>
<p>The only way we would have had any chance at all at preserving the integrity of our nation would have been if the Republicans, Democrats (and independents) had immediately put their differences aside at the beginning (of the new administration) and worked their collective ass off to save the United States from the unbelievable mess it was mired in. And still I would have given them no more than even odds of bringing this country out the other side in one piece.</p>
<p>But they didn&#8217;t (of course they didn&#8217;t). </p>
<p>Decade after decade of damage has driven this country to the absolute edge of failure and yet the political monster still does everything it can to push it over the brink.</p>
<p>Whatever you may believe or however you may feel about the current administration there&#8217;s one thing that&#8217;s certain. Politics will kill this nation if the powers that be don&#8217;t stop playing at it and get down to the work that desperately needs to be done.</p>
<p>So yes, God <em>bless</em> America. She needs all the help she can get.</p>
