The Cesspool that is our Government!

While Obama has been likened to a country bumpkin when it comes to Foreign Affairs, the actions and record of Congress is of much greater concern to me as a citizen. Let's face the fact that while the President has managed to step into one cow pie after the other, at least everyone can understand it's due to the circle of loons that are advising him. He will go down in history as by far and away the worst leader of any country anywhere and at any time! That's a fact! But, he's just one man. Something that can't be said about the CF that is the august body of 454 individuals who have conspired, wittingly or otherwise, to gut the Republic to which they were entrusted.

In my view, these men and women of the 111^th Congress, as a body politic, are a collection of power mongering, diseased and corrupt individuals whose sole purpose it is to keep the 'Party' going for as long as possible. The well-being of the American people was thrown under the bus a long time ago even as has much of the rest of the world. This group of individuals, who were once shining examples of a vast and great Republic, are now the laughingstock of the world. (Do they even care, I wonder)?

Sadly, I can't let people like myself off the hook for what has happened. For it was on my generation's watch that this tumor on Capitol Hill was allowed to fester and grow into the malignancy that it is today. My generation, and the ones after it, are rank and rotted in their own right. The absolute ignorance that is shown by the average citizen of even simple economic or political concepts is appalling. What hope can there be for this world when our so-called group of intelligent leaders insist that the world looks best with their collective heads up their ass?
