Ever since Barack Obama got elected, the tea party Republicans have had a major problem and can’t get over it.

They have gone so far as to block or obstruct any meaningful legislation during the past two years, thus denying the president any opportunity to get the economy up to par.

That tactic prolonged the recession and was meant only to make Obama look weak and ineffective.

The GOP needs to get back to governing for the benefit of all Americans and quit knuckling under to the far right wing of the party.
