WE NEED TO KISS POLITICAL AGENDAS GOODBYE!

I know I don't need to tell anyone that our current economic condition is not exactly healthy.  And I obviously don't need to tell anyone that a big factor in the unhealthiness is the real estate market.  That's why when I see that our Republican and Democratic elected officials are more worried about their political agendas instead of the economy, I'm completely stupified!

I'm pretty sure that the majority of Americans would agree that we did not put you in office to play a chess game while our economic existences flap in the wind!  So set your differences, poltical affiliations, and personal goals aside and start doing what we, "your bosses," want you to do.  FIX THIS ECONOMY!

If you all continue down the road your on, there will be no reason to play chess.
