We cats had a tough time getting through to our Congressman last night. His website wouldn't load and the Capitol telephone operator didn't answer for the longest time. But we finally made it. Today, we've heard that circuits on the Hill are still deluged. Good.
We were kind of hoping, though, that President Obama would use his speech to the nation to announce that he was choosing to bypass Congress and exercise the 14th Amendment. But this afternoon the White House is saying nerts to that. Bad.
Getting nervous? We would be if we weren't so frustrated at Republicans' willingness to drive the country over a cliff. All so that — they think — they can win the election next year. Can you imagine the screams of "traitor" from the GOP if the Democrats were doing this? The Republicans' lack of patriotism is breathtaking.
Meanwhile, we think Mr. Obama may have a line from the musical "1776" running through his mind. "Good God, consider yourselves fortunate you have John Adams to abuse," the second President tells the Continental Congress. "For no sane man would tolerate it."
