Lots of complaining…

Over at my blog, Links, "Critical of President Obama Edition" - it's a terrible title, I know. There's a link or two I've shared here (i.e. the one on health care "reform"), but a few things on the debt, the terror trial in NYC, and Afghanistan that you probably want to check out.

I don't have much more to add. I don't worry about what's happening in DC as much as I worry about the ability of the electorate to grapple with issues, and while the President's poll numbers are tanking, I'm definitely not seeing that disgust turn into anything productive. People know they don't like where the Democrats are going, but seem to be unable to articulate an agenda which addresses problems. We're gonna need more of the latter if the GOP is to become a serious party again. For all the complaining about the GOP, they've done an admirable job even while being battered by both the extreme Right and the whole of the Left; look up the much-maligned Lindsey Graham's skewering of Eric Holder if you don't believe me.

  1. I have to side with the fact that politicians have become far too comfortable with politics.
    The need for one or two term limits in every elected office is a must. Supreme Court Justices selection for life terms needs to be re-evaluated. The political parties are prisoners to special interest that do not put We The People first. The political post for the people has become a post to do what they think is good for the people. The people are not quite as stupid and they were in the past. We have become enlightened to political bias and agenda driven journalism. Trust has become a thing of the past. Facts have become the weapon of choice.

    Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.
