Obama to GOP: Win an election.

The article can be found here.

   This article is about a statement that President Obama said to the Republicans who want to defund his health care law. He said, "You don't like a particular policy -- or a particular president -- then argue for your position. Go out there and win an election.''

   This statement made by the president definitely cuts to the chase. If you don't agree, don't throw a fit about it. "Tolerate" it as long as you have to, and when the next election comes around, get the people on your side and change it when you win the election. "Push to change it. But don't break it." We can't always agree on everything issue that comes up, but that in no way gives us any reason to completely shut down and refuse compromise. Rarely can anyone, whether it's a party or just an individual, get their way all the time. We need to be mature enough to know that compromise isn't the end of the world. And by our next election, if the people unite and decide that they are completely against how the health care reform has been running, then by all means we can elect a president willing to change it. But for now, we all just need to be patient and come at this with an open mind. It might not be as awful as a lot of our nation likes to believe, just give it a chance.

  1. I agree, it's amazing how many people are against it, but don't do anything REASONABLE about it. We've talked about how only people who care actually take action, but not all people who care take action. What's it going to take to get something you want?
