OK, the election is over and President Barrack Obama has four more years to lead this country-- like it or not. Republicans and Democrats need to get over themselves and their petty political stances and go forward with why they were sent to Washington in the first place. Obama won the popular vote and the electoral vote; there is a message in that.

Look at the big picture, Congress! Do what is best for all of the people. Electing to do nothing is a bad decision. That sounds like I am stating the obvious but Congress has demonstrated, over the last four years, they do not see the obvious.

You have a few weeks to settle on this fiscal cliff the country is facing. Get it done and stop thinking about who is going to get the credit or the blame. If Mr. Boehner says his party is going to vote "NO" for anything the Democrats propose, he should be asked to step down from his position. If the Democrats refuse to find some middle ground, they too should pay a price back home.

The people in the Northeast of the USA are suffering and they need help from the rest of us and from their Government. They do not need to be put on hold because Congress is nitpicking over some detail with a political basis. This country is in the shape it is in because the people elected to go to Washington are more interested in the politics than they are in doing their jobs. We am not sure they really understand their jobs.
