President Barack Obama has had his problems since taking office, but everyone can agree he’s probably the best politician in the country.

It’s budget season, and while that usually induces more yawns than anything else, this year we’ve seen some significant reactions across the country. The federal budget has been a hot topic for months, but the state budgets have come under the microscope in recent days.

Despite the two-year deal reached at the end of last year, we probably haven’t heard the last of the tax cut debate. Before we know it, it’ll be campaign season again and our leaders will be out on the trail, telling us why we need to make the cuts permanent or why we need to raise the rates on the top one or two percent of the population.

They rioted in Tunisia and now they’re rioting Egypt. They’re burning buildings, taking to the streets and calling for a new regime. It’s the match being held to the fuse. The violence could escalate (they’re already calling it a war zone) and lives could certainly be lost, but it’s time to let Egypt burn.

In 11th grade, my American Literature class read “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” At the time, I was a little more concerned about the Tigers’ march to the World Series than one of the classic American novels, but I do have one pretty strong memory from the two or three weeks the class spent discussing the book.

Watch the news to get the latest update on the congresswoman
How many times have you heard someone rail against partisanship in the last couple years? How many times have you told people you are sick of both parties? If those numbers are high, and I suspect they are, then it’s time to put your money where your mouth is.

Their parents carry one of the most admired titles of the last century. Their children will carry an enormous burden. They came of age during Vietnam and Woodstock and they put down roots after the Cold War. The Baby Boomers found an America with no ceiling, and left it with no floor.

This country has a funny tendency to only remember important days once a year. Last week, you couldn’t turn around without bumping into someone talking about Veterans Day. The populace was ablaze with patriotism, and everything seemed in order.
