Your "teapartiers" have created, written and passed two bills in the House of Representatives to resolve this issue. Both bills were sent to the Senate controlled by Harry Reid where they were tabled. No vote allowed. He did not want the Senators to have to go on record as opposed so he tabled them and allowed no vote.

How many bills has the Senate passed? NONE. Not their job? Wrong. It is with in their power to take either bill passed by the House and change it, modify, re-write, vote on it and send it back to the house. They have not done that. They just say "I don't like those bills, send us a third one" Again no leadership.

Mr Obama has provided no bill to resolve this problem. Not his job? Wrong again. Any president can create a bill, send it to the house for sponsorship and be voted on. Name one? Obama Care. Created by this president, sponsored by Nancy Polsi and passed by the House, sent to the Senate and passed again. And that bill is the one that helped create this current crisis.

Several presidents have had this same exact problem and all provided the leadership to get it done. Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and George Bush. And several had to do it with a House and Senate controlled by the other party.

Our president has provided no leadership to resolve this problem. So far all he has done is criticize those actions taken by others. It's OK to throw stones if you have a better plan, he does not have that right as he has no plan. And if you say he does, I will ask you what it is. So far it is only rhetoric.
