Speaker Boehner keeps on writing Blank Checks to Obama to continue his personal pledge to “Fundamentally transform the United States of America” into a single-payer Communist State.
It only take three people to run the US Federal Government: Boehner, (to write the blank checks), Reid, (to shutdown the Federal Government anytime that he doesn’t get his way), and Obama to do whatever he wants to do.
The soft under belly of the USA is to keep a weak, crybaby Speaker of the House in power for years, and years, and years.
The Democrat’s favorite tune might be the old popular that goes: “ - - - - This is so EASY - - - .”

We do not have a Constitutional Republic anymore, what we have is an Oligarchy, according to Webster’s Dictionary:
“Oligarchy - - - noun. 1.) a form of Government in which the ruling power belongs to a few persons.
2.) a state governed in the way.
3.) the persons ruling such a state.”

Oligarch Boehner writes the blank checks.
Oligarch Reid pouts and shuts down the Federal Government every time that Boehner refuses to write even one blank check.
Oligarch Obama plays and plays and plays.

BTW, it is rumored that Oligarch Obama has a bid on a 4.7 Million Dollar House in California.
If this is true, then that house should be known as “The House that Oligarch Boehner Built for Oligarch Obama.”
I share your angst, Graewoulf. I can see what has happened, and what is still happening, under the administration of this pro forma, ersatz president.
He's like a black hole, that inexorably draws the entire "universe" into its ego-maniacal maw....
We can agree to acknowledge this. But the burning question remains: What are We the People going to do about it? We supposedly are sovereign under our constitutional system. So why are we seemingly so willing to trade our sovereignty for a mess of pottage?
I have no clue what the explanation may be (other than my "bright, shiny object" theory); but this I know for sure: Culture precedes politics.
If the culture is destroyed, do not expect "good government," let alone constitutional government, American-style.
Which is why the progressive Left has devoted so much of its energy to undermining, to wrecking American culture over the past fifty years and more — through the mass media, the public schools and institutions of higher learning, the so-called "charities," and what passes for "the arts" these days....
The American people must have been sleepwalking through all of this....
I don't see any easy answers. What might work would be a restoration of the American public culture. But the elite movers-and-shakers would fight this tooth and nail, down to the last breath.
So, what to do? I figure that all I can personally manage is to (1) Stand on firm ground; and (2) Tell the truth.
If the problem is in the culture, then it almost doesn't matter what party you vote for, what candidates you elect. A deracinated, despiritualized popular culture cannot be expected to produce any kind of good political order.
Plato noticed this problem, roughly five hundred years before the birth of Christ. He was right then, and he's still right now.
Thank you so much for sharing your insights, Graewoulf!
