Sassy

Some, in fact-many, people say there are no stupid questions.  Perhaps, but there are some questions that cannot be asked at all.  They are too argumentative, or personal, or offensive.  As a child, I was often told by my parents not to "sass" them.  To this day I don't really know what it means. Every time I asked, I'd be accused of doing it so since my question was sincere, when I looked it up in the dictionary I just got confused or upset...and don't even think about trying to defend yourself...evidently that is sassy as well.

One day after the U.S? Elections, I find myself with another "unaskable" question. Why are the winners claiming that their landslide victory doesn't require them to do anything besides, and I quote, "Stop Obama" As elected officials, do they just get a free pass on doing anything at all? The new guys haven't even been sworn in. Isn't six years of logjam enough? Why are we allowing this? I only say we because I am American, and they won.  I just don't understand why.  I don't understand why we allowed them to stonewall while the country staggered under the burden of poor leadership.

Yes, President Obama failed in this major area.  He could not budge them, so whether you think it's right or wrong, it is a major failure of the president.  I can accept that, but how does that mean that we are going to allow this supermajority to do nothing and call that victory.  I really don't understand how people that told us they weren't going to allow the government to function, and then didn't not only did not go to prison for treason, but took the majority? It is a major mystery to me...but then, perhaps I'm just being sassy, again.
