Letter: Obama has been more reasonable

The Columbian
Published: April 18, 2011, 12:00am

If we’re paying attention, we know that President Obama not only met but bettered the first dollar demands declared by House Speaker John Boehner for his Republican Party. When Boehner, R-Ohio, raised the bar, the president again agreed, reducing programs very important to Americans. Now, the Tea Party has forced social issues and won’t take “yes” for an answer. Clearly, the president has been more than reasonable; the House Speaker has been backed into a corner.

The Tea Party is the tail wagging the dog. I pray the president does not give in; I grieve for the country, military personnel and every American. Forgive those who voted for the “shellacking” in 2010 for they know not what they do.
