…at the White House and in Congress, and the simplicity is startling, to say the least!

It happens to all of us on occasion, we figure we know how to do something, or we’re confident that we can figure it out on our own, so we don’t bother to waste time reading the instructions. We’re in too big a hurry.

That’s what the problem is!

It’s little more than an innocent mistake, a small but correctable error: President Obama, and the Democrats running the House and Senate, forgot to read the instructions, the employee handbook for those running the United States Government.

As I intimated above, this cannot be an irretrievable error, not in Washington, D.C. Why, I’ll bet copies can be found all over the place in that town!

If they can get directions or get a cab, these politicians can head over to a sure-fire place that their job instructions can be found. It is at 700 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W. and has entrances on both Pennsylvania and Constitution Avenues N.W. between 7th and 9th Streets.

It’s called the National Archives Building, and from what I’ve heard, it just might be the ideal place for a whole passel of elected officials to do some serious reading, and brush up on the entailments of the jobs for which they were hired.

Such a refresher course could only make these politicians perform more like patriotic…uh, patriotic… Americans! That’s it! Americans!
