Soapbox, Please

I'm sorry but I cannot understand nor am I enamored by this "Presidential Euphoria". I mean, come on people, we have a new President. Get on with your day. No, he didn't get my vote, but I really don't think I'm bitter. It's just scary when people act like a former Senator is the next Messiah. I'm all for hope and change to make our lives better, don't get me wrong. And I do want many things improved, such as affordable health care. I've just never understood why people are so enraged with Bush. If I recall correctly from my Political Science classes, everything the President does goes through Congress. A bill does have to be approved by Congress before it is signed by the President. That's the point of a democracy. No one man runs our country but everyone is looking for a scapegoat. If people are so unhappy with Bush's politics and the past eight years , maybe we should all start taking a second look on who we vote into Congress. We choose who will represent us and I would bet money that lots of folks can't even name the representatives from their voting districts. Why don't we all take a few pointers back from the days of FDR. People lived simply and worked hard. The President isn't going to fix lazy or stupid. Don't take out a mortgage you cannot afford. Try to chip away at your debt. We all need to suck it up, do without some of our extravagances. That should make a dent on our economy.

Ok, so I've stepped off my soapbox now. Maybe I'm just grumpy because my stomach is hurting.
