What President Obama Needs To Do About the Debt Crisis

Thanks to Yellow Armadillos for inviting me to blog here! I hope your readers will be interested in this:

Jackie Salit, President of independentvoting.org, appeared on Fox and Friends July 27, 2011, to give an independent perspective on the budget negotiations.  Salit says 'I'm a member of the Anti-Party, which is what about 40% of the country is today' -- most Americans don't like parties, partisanship, and Americans will come together around structural political reform. There is no middle ground, but there is a way to bring Americans together.  President Obama is trying to play to the center when there is no center. Obama needs to come out strongly in support of political reform and indies will support him.

    I watched the video and I still don't know what she is proposing. What structural political reform do you expect will lead to what kind of solutions? Which kind of solutions do you favor?

    OK, I have no idea what Ms. Salit wants Obama to do, but just for contrast of leadership style and to show how much difference an individual can make consider this. If Lyndon Baines Johnson were President no one, and I mean absolutely no one, would accuse the President of being on the sidelines.

    Indeed, I would speculate that if Johnson were President the issue would have been resolved long ago
