Obama to take Republicans to task on economy, taxes

This week I read the article about Obama taking his case against Republicans to the American people. The key points of the articles are:
  • Democrats are in danger of losing control of the House of Representatives in November elections.
  • Obama plans to unveil a tax and spend package this week
  • Obama wants to let taxes rise for highest wage earners while Republicans insist on keeping rates low for highest wage earners.
Obama is placing blame on the Republican party for refusing to help turn the economy around, and not supporting his new tax breaks. Democrats are in danger of losing control during the November elections, and there is much disagreement between the two parties on what to do for taxes.

First of all, I do not believe it is fair of Obama to place blame and single out a specific party in front of the American people. It is quite obvious that there is a split between the two parties. They are not accomplishing much by not working together, and refusing any agreement on ideas. The key to running this country successfully is going to be compromise. When they can come together with their ideas and opinions and form new ideas and opinions together is when things will start getting done successfully.
