Sir;...Get your facts straight... You are referring to a ministerial system... Parliament is the equivalent of our congress, and comes from the French/Norman influence in England, and from the verb Parler: To speak... The arrangement of parliament comes from an early meeting place... During the reign of Edward the sixth the House of Commons moved to St. Stephen's Chapel, from across the street, and that place had been originally used by a group of chantry priests; but with their dissolution the property had fallen to the crown... It was an oblong building originally designed for antiphonal singing with seats for the priests arranged facing each other against the long axis of the hall.... So; if our parliament should sound always like the same song wiith another verse, that is where the idea came from.. ... If Mr. Obama is behaving as though a leader of a government in England where political realities often demand both parties to have some representation, so realities to day require consent and consensus and cooperation from all sides -if this government will survive its own mistakes... The past is behind us... The old humptydumpty Uncles Sam is scrambled... Our systemic problems are too great, and our political situation so profoundly undemocratic that the government cannot fix itself, and so, cannot fix the economy... What you take as a given in the right to sow dissent has become a luxury you can no longer afford... You don't know how far this society can fall, or who it will take with it when it falls... Do you want to fiddle while America burns???... I don't think Mr, Obama can save your society, but IF I were you, I would help him try rather than standing in his way...... ...Thanks...Sweeney
