We usually start our Sunday with coffee and the television show Sunday Morning. Today's focus featured stories about love…..a nice set of segments chosen because of Valentine's Day. Couples who had been married for 80+ years, high school couples who re-discovered each other years later and re-fell in love. It was a nice, quiet hour.
As it ended I was on the floor doing my back-stretching exercises and Bob Schieffer came on to introduce the topics for his show Face the Nation. One of the discussion was to be about the fact that "gridlock returns to Washington" and I found myself thinking: "….returns?"
I will never forget, the day after President Obama's first inaugural speech, when the leader of the Republican Party stood in front of reporters and said (I'm paraphrasing a bit here) "Our main objective for the next four years is to make sure this is a one-term President." And I though to myself…."now that's a great way to find ways to work together to address the problems facing America."
Gridlock returns……sorry, it's been sitting in Washington for at least six years.
