JayS and rskrause, you are right, but what you are saying is the problem. Rskrause, you are right, W is loyal. Problem is in his position you should put loyalties aside for the good of the citizenry at large. Instead his loyalties lies with all his rich friends and the energy industry while the rest of us get shit on.
The american public has come to accept this idea of everybody in DC, is corrupt, they all cheat, steal, et cetera. And that is the problem. It shouldn’t be accepted. The fact that “Nixon did it too” really shouldn’t be relevant.
If you ask me W and company make Nixon and his cronies look like shoplifters. Nixon was 33 years ago. We’ll be paying for W’s screw ups 33 years from now. Nixon was a shitty president and wasn’t worthy of the office. W is twice as shitty and half as worthy.
The fact that the American public puts up with all of this is the big problem - a bigger problem than the politicians themselves.
