I am completely sick of American politics. I have always doubted the average intellgience of the people in my country, but never so much as now. Clinton lied about his sex life and was impeached (but not removed from office–there’s a difference). Bush lied about issues of national security affecting thousands of lives and no one seems to care. In fact, some people want to blame Clinton for Bush’s ignorance.
I just don’t understand how most of the public buys into this crap. Republicans decried Clinton for lying, saying the president of the country must be a perfect citizen, yet when Bush lies about something much more important to the lives of people around the world, the blame is shifted elsewhere. As president of the United States, Bush is ultimately responsible for everything. If he can’t handle that responsibility and must shift the blame elsewhere, he is not fit for the position.
That is all. There is more I want to say about, for example, CNN.com‘s headline last night: SONS DEAD! but it will have to be some other time. Now please read the entry below this because it is infinitely more important.
