politics is frustrating to say the least
i wish parties/people/leaders could be more bipartisan, realize we are all in this together, and work together. We need to stop blaming each other for what they did and realize blaming others will not fix this HUGE problem we have.
George Washington warned about the party system: "It serves to distract the Public Councils, and enfeeble the Public Administration....agitates the Community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one....against another....it opens the door to foreign influence and corruption...thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another."
That being said, I think Obama is working extremely hard, but he is just too much of a politician (pork, holding off parts of the stimulus bill till the year of his reelection to make him look good, constantly blaming Bush/republicans for many things, etc.) We are all americans. Why can't we work together?
Note to self: Never run for President... everyone expects you to do exactly what they want and it better be done your first 100 days on the job. Oh and I cannot take anytime for myself to spend with my kids or go bowling because that is just unacceptable!
Some people are just so ignorant and don't understand how the government/economy works. Some things take time. Obama is doing a splendid job so far IMO. I'm really pleased with his ideals on Stem cell research. I totally agree with his increase on the excise taxes for cigarettes. He is putting a lot of effort on improving foreign relations, which I see as pretty important since there are a lot of countries that do not like us right now. I feel he is going to move our environmental policies in a positive direction. Like I said before, it is going to take time for some change.
Sorry I think that snidges are totally retarded... they're bad for you, they smell bad, the buzz you get is weak shit, they're expensive (even before the increase). Just smoke all natural herbs without all the chemical shit that tobacco companies add to that shit. But, hey if you want to die from lung cancer, go for it... survival of the fittest, maybe you'll be lucky and you won't have the genotype that can lead to lung cancer.
