If you check out the different television stations and their coverage of the deadlock in Washington, you can see clear bias on both sides. CNN is casting all the blame on the Tea Party and the Republicans caving into their strongarm tactics; while Fox makes it look like the Democrats have no plan to resolve the debt crisis.
All I know is that the public is FED UP with both sides and can't believe how we have to watch this sick soap opera day after day with pundits analyzing who said what and why nothing is changing while the American public is holding its breath hoping that our government doesn't default. The impact of the default has been made very clear by media on both sides - yet no amount of tweeting, e-mailing or phone calls - seems to have any impact on the shenanigans going on at the public's expense.
How this will play out in the end is the big question mark. If we have to sit through another week of this being the major headline news - with new real news happening - I think there will be an uproar in Washington. I would love to see citizens marching on Washington to display its disgust with what is happening.
I can't stand the impotence of the American public being held captive by our elected officials.Now it says that Harry Reid's plan is not too different from Boehners. Both include spending cuts - except Boehner's calls for a balanced budget.
If Pres. Obama says both parties are not too far apart, then COMPROMISE and meet the deadline. Do you hear us???
What do you think????
