The clock is ticking...

As I sit here and watch the State of the Union Address I can only feel a sense of sadness.  President Obama speaks about us being a family as Americans.  We are one country together for better or for worse.  But we are not that way, we are a country divided by petty differences, greed, self serving acts, racism, sexism, and hate.  I can only imagine how great this country could be if we could magically wake up one day and agree on everything.  Could you imagine everyone agreeing to switch to 100% green energy and passing a bill in a week, starting work on the ground in a month?  Instead we become stuck in a mire of arguments and bickering.  We literally bicker about every single political point available.  What we have become is a nation of self interests, refusing to bend to another's ideas because we prefer to live in our own perfect world.  A world built on our stubborn opinions that in our minds are the only way to do things, the correct way to do things.  I am just as guilty as the next person.  But I would be willing to sacrifice some of my stances in order to have other get passed.  Because right now all we do is argue and nothing is getting done and won't be anytime soon.  Which beckons the quote "A wrong decision, is better then indecision".  What Republicans and Democrats need to do is line up their most important interests and split them down the middle.  While we are sitting here screaming at each other, China is making cars, planes, and tanks.  It is time to quit the nonsense and get down to business, or start learning Chinese.
