The Buck Stops With Mitch
Is Mitch McConnell a great leader of the Senate? Are you frustrated with his excuses? Do you think Mitch McConnell is supporting you? Do you think things are not getting done in the U.S. Senate because of President Trump?
LEADERS: I always led with this in mind, leaders take 100% responsibility for their failures and share responsibility for success. President Harry Truman said, “The Buck stops here.” “The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.” Ronald Reagan.
REPUBLICAN’S SAID: Since May 2010 when Obama Care was signed into law Republicans have said, “Repeal and Replace.” The Republicans have voted to repeal Obama Care more than 50 times, except July 2017 when it counted. The Republican Platform states that the party will repeal and replace Obama Care which is supposed to be the vision of the party. “Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.” Warren G. Bennis.
MITCH SAID: Reelection night 2014 McConnell indicated one of his priorities was to repeal Obama Care. McConnell was on the show (Face The Nation) shortly after Trump was elected, and when asked about repeal and replacing Obama Care, McConnell said it must be done and very soon. I do not know what you think but I do not think that it is a priority for McConnell.
200 DAYS: January 2017 Senator Mitch McConnell stood with Congressman Paul Rayan and outlined a 200 day plan. McConnell said, this is a bold plan but we are in communication with the President and his team daily. McConnell quote, “We are on the same page.”
NO EXCUSES MITCH: At a speech to the Rotary in Kentucky our leader of the Senate Mitch McConnell laid the blame for his failure squarely at the feet of President Trump. Quote, “Our new president, of course, has not been in this line of work before. I think he had excessive expectations about how quickly things happen in the democratic process.” “Part of the reason I think people think we’re under-performing is because of too many artificial deadlines unrelated to the reality of the legislature which may have not been understood.”
TRUMAN & REAGAN: “Term limits would cure both senility ad seniority – both terrible legislative disease,” Truman. “If you are afraid of the future, then get out of the way, stand aside. The people of this country are ready to move again,” Reagan.
CONCLUSION: You voted so that means that you care. Do you want health care, taxes simplified, a budget, what do you want? Now take the time to write your Senator and Congressman and tell them what you want. Make yourself heard!!

“People often say that, in a democracy, decisions are made by a majority of the people. Of course, that is not true. Decisions are made by a majority of those who make themselves heard and who vote– a very different thing.” Rep. Walter H. Judd of Minnesota
THE BUCK STARTS WITH YOU!!!
