Anti-Obama isn't reason enough

The debates of the Republicans seeking the presidential nomination have become almost comical. With their name-calling, and you-said, I -said comments, it's becoming a joke. To begin with, they began the debates in November of 2011, much too early for an election a year away.

At the rate they are going, they will all be out of hot air, and money, by election time. All Obama will have to do is continue trying to undo the mess he inherited four years ago, with almost no help from Congress.

One other thing that obthers me a great deal -- in my 88 years fo living, I have never heard so much disrespect of our president by Congress. To me it's near treason for them to state that no matter the economic condition of our country, Mr. Obama has to go. It sounds like discrimination, which I sincerely hope it's not. Or is it just plain greed on their part?
