Democrats won the house majority but lost bigly in the senate. 78 year old Nancy Pelosi hopes this is her shot at a second chance as speaker.

So it continues on into another day of hardcore rhetoric from both sides of the political divide but the government shutdown of 2013 doesn’t need to be ugly. In fact it could come to end very quickly if both sides would simply be rationale and do what the people of the country way for a change.

After a week of nonstop coverage, all of us are well verse on the topics of conversation; Obama doesn’t want to budge on his health care plan and republicans don’t want to allow further spending, borrowing and ultimately higher amounts of debt without concessions from the White House.

The thing is republicans need to understand that the majority of Americans (minus the wealthy, they never apply in these equations) do want affordable healthcare coverage and on top of that, Obamacare is the main aspect of President Obama’s legacy in office so why on earth would they expect that he’d want to discuss putting an end to it.

On the other hand republicans aren’t wrong for wanting to decrease spending, borrowing and debt because just like when you apply the financial logic to an average American household, increased spending and raking up debt on credit cards to cover it never ends well. But the fact of the matter is they can’t expect the President to get rid of Obamacare when he is proud of what he accomplished and truly believes it will help poverty stricken Americans. Whether or not it will, well honestly it’s far to early to make that judgement call.

Every new change will come with glitches and bumps in the road but you must give things time to determine their level of success. I’m sure that if you were to ask the POTUS, if he would object the repealing Obamacare if it’s an utter failure a few years from now, he’d say of course he would. Who wouldn’t want to get rid of something that turns out to be toxic but at this point no one can know for certain.

Compromise Comes from Mutual Respect

If Democrats and Republicans want to truly put an end to the back and forth, childish bickering they will have to sit their extremist views aside (i.e. Boehner, McConnell, Feinstein, Pelosi, Reid) and focus on the real beliefs of each party, not the extremist views. Republicans need to understand they can’t do away with Obamacare when it hasn’t been around long enough to determine it’s success, so they should be instead compromising and seeking concessions in other areas such as perks for small business or taxes.

Perhaps if they’d stop targeting the key aspect of a President’s time in office they’d have much better luck plus the President has already stated he would talk with them but it’s obvious he just doesn’t want to negotiate anything about the healthcare law.

There are a plethora of topics the republicans could focus on instead such as backing off gun control legislation and tax breaks for American citizens instead of continuing to focus on (cry about) the President not wanting to repeal Obamacare.

Ultimately both sides need to simply take a step back and look at values of the people and compromise based upon those views.

So I’m sorry to say it republicans, it’s time to quit pestering him about the healthcare law when it hasn’t been given a chance to work. Instead lets move forward and show the world this government shutdown crisis doesn’t need to be ugly and in fact can end peacefully and fairly.

Huma Abedin has taken plenty of heat over the sexting scandal that plagued her husband, Anthony Weiner.

But being a long time aide and personal friend of the Clinton’s she has gracefully taken notes from Hillary’s own prior fidelity problems that plagued her own husbands career.

Hillary Clinton showed the world that you can get through those tough times with an unfaithful husband and turn things around for the better, not every marriage has to end in divorce.

I’m sure Huma has thought about divorcing Anthony plenty of times but she has seen the progress made by the Clinton’s having been working along side Hillary since 1996, believe it or not.

Both of these women are champions for the progress of women and that includes proving that they can stand by their men through even the toughest of times, which should be commended.

Hillary and Huma Should Be Commended

Even though recent studies have shown that women are far more likely to have affairs, these two women prove that not only that they can stay extremely faithful but that they can stomach, handle and grow from their own husbands affairs without sinking as low as they did.

Not many media outlet have reported on this but it’s about time one of us does! Hillary and Huma both show the charisma, grace and level of forgiveness all women should possess especially during difficult times such as affairs and even sexting.

Not to mention when you have children involved, professional careers and a life in the spotlight it only makes things such as these more difficult to deal with. Imagine how many times both of them have wanted to run away in the midst of the public humiliation but instead of buckling they stood up tall and showed women worldwide exactly how it should be; that marriage is a lifetime commitment.

So don’t feel bad for them except for the fact that such beautiful women had to deal with such situations because they are right where they’ve always wanted to be their husbands true life long partners regardless if they are perverts or have been accused of being serial rapists. Thank you from women everywhere!

How do you feel about it? Could you stand by your man the way these two strong women have?
