Politics, how do I hate thee? Mainly it’s this focus on the need for politicians to keep the jobs they’re not doing.
“Election time is fast approaching, and President Obama and the Republicans will soon be focused full-time on pivotal congressional races to be decided Nov. 2”
That’s funny because I thought government’s “full-time” job was serving the American people, not making sure they stay in office.
Psst! Hey politicians! Here’s a free tip for ya! Do your job well and you’ll get reelected! I know—crazy, right? But look what happened with Bloomberg. He ran for a theoretically illegal 3rd term as mayor of NYC, but because he’s not doing a bad job he got reelected and hardly anybody said word one about those pesky term limits!
But there’s more from the above article—apparently Senate Minirity Leader Mitch McConnell thinks “The Democrats are ‘in deep trouble and the reason for that is the American people have looked at this administration,’ McConnell said. ‘They’ve seen them running banks, insurance companies, car companies, nationalizing the student loan business, taking over health care, running up debts. America would like to do a mid-course correction.’”
Newsflash, Mitch: America is in trouble! Unemployment is crazy high, our economy is still scary-weak, the Gulf of Mexico is stupidly dying, two useless wars are seemingly endlessly draining America of blood and treasure, and guess what—it’s BOTH the Republicans AND the Democrats fault. You are both running the show and you know it.
See, this is what pisses me off about politics—they keep playing these stupid games, pretending that their petty posturing and fruitless finger-pointing somehow reflects that they are doing their jobs when really it’s all just wasting America’s time.
Washington is filled with Nero’s who are fiddling while Rome is burning. Too bad the music isn’t more entertaining this time around. I always heard that Nero was a good violin player…
