Would it be asking too much if some president, any president, any senator, congressman, could think about the good of the country at least occasionally? I'm fed up with the lot.
Democrats, republicans, Tea Party!, all of them!
We need to put some new crooks in office!
@Undecided:
First of all, in regards to the original post we're all making the assumption there is something improper going on in this case. There may or may not be. Secondly, I do understand your frustration. Parties now are generally more concerned with either keeping power or obtaining it. I do believe most nationally elected politicians go to Washington with the best of intentions. However, they soon get a dose of raw reality. They find out quickly between the lobbyist and party politics they don't have as much control as they envisioned.
In the case of past presidents this realization hit them hard. I'm sure President Obama is no different in that regard. So no matter who we vote into office all will come to the conclusion it is much easier to make the speeches about changing the political culture than to actually put it into action.
