Overwhelmed and Disillusioned

The news out of Washington, D.C, and Brussels, Belgium, and London, and just about anywhere you turn is all bad. We are still engaged in a deadly conflict in Afghanistan despite the medias best efforts to pretend no such war exist under this President. Unemployment is still staggeringly high and the job market offers little hope for those seeking employment. Many have simply given up the search and committed themselves to a life of federal assistance and poverty.
The Obamacare rollout was terrible and has not improved with the new and improved rollout just released. Unfortunately, the new rollout did nothing to fix the systemic problems with matters like hackers and identity theft. It is pointless to even mention the problems which infest the actual plan and it's implementation...things like the need for at least 40% of Americans under 35 to enroll when the facts show we will maybe get 25%, or the fact that even MORE Americans now think we should scrap Obamacare.
We have a President who has expanded his offices authority to levels never imagined but certainly feared by our Founding Fathers who thought the safe guards they put in place would protect the people. Little could those Founders have known that they would need to put in place motivators to get the Congress to act or the Supreme Court to rule Constitutionally to defend the nation from such tyranny.
The good news is that the sun rose today and I am breathing...the bad news is on every page you read, every blog you visit, and every pundit you hear speak. How much longer will the American public wait to act? The Founders did include one last stop gap measure to protect this Nation and it's the measure that would come in the Red box with the glass cover marked, "In case of Emergency Break". The alarm bells are blaring the signal to action and it does not appear that any of the men or women who signed up to be the first line of defense are going to act...so it is quickly approaching the time to Break that glass and pull the lever!
