The truth of the matter is our two party system is killing us. It's no longer about what's good for the people, but instead it's become "we need to beat the other party".
The recent Obama message to school kids is a classic example. When Bush did it, the Dems bitched. Now that Obama did it, the Repubs bitch. Did it ever occur to either side that the President of the United States should be reaching out to our students on a regular basis, be a role model, no matter what party he (she?) belongs to?
Another classic example is the Deficit. Seems to me that it was Bush that got us hear, yet ironic I read the other day that the Deficit has never been higher than it was under Obama. Hello? Obama's been in office for six months, not eight years. It wasn't Obama that got us here.
I just hope Obama can unfuck us.
But then the Dems will say "Oh, the recession is over, and it's because of our savior Obama". Bullshit. Any trained monkey will have gotten us out of this, it's just gonna take a little time.
