So, a little caffeine is all we needed to come together. Did you see the story? Starbucks Corp Chief Executive Howard Schultz called on Americans on Tuesday to deluge U.S. lawmakers with demands to end the partisan gridlock that he said is paralyzing Washington. Schultz also urged lawmakers to focus on issues such as job creation and getting the country's finances in order. "This is a moment in time when all Americans can become part of the solution by being heard. Step forward, do not be a bystander," Schultz said at an appearance in New York.
Goodness do we need someone somewhere to listen to this man. Just last week I was writing about whether we could indeed come together. And here we are.
We disagree on everything lately, except the fact that we disagree. Looking at the candidates we have to lead us, I see none who want to govern from the middle only entrenching themselves more deeply into their own right and left ranks.
It has to stop. Or we will.
