One Year after the historical elections...

Partisanship is our great curse. We too readily assume that everything has two sides and that it is our duty to be on one or the other. - JH Robinson

You have to love American politics, they always have some flare, and some drama, without appearing to do so. No other country claims to be so patriotic, yet every decision is based on partisanship. Washington DC is disgustingly so. I mean, you are either a Republican or a Democrat, and that is what you are identified with first...then off course after wards, you can be a human being who have a variety of interests.
Decisions are made based on Republican agenda, or the Democrat Agenda. basically, if congress is majorly republican, then you can expect some high taxes and some top hikes being paid more to seat down in meetings. And then off course, there is the democratic agenda, which mainly includes a hippie version of politics...as in, everything is permissible. Republicans hide behind the Bible, and the Democrats hide behind Americans' need of justification for their actions or rather their amorals. What happened to having personal responsibility and cooperation.

Today marks a year since Obama was elected. And off course with that comes the mistakes. Massachusetts has a Republican senator, and now republicans can celebrate Kennedy's death. its a great day in America, if you are a republican, and a sad day if you are a democrat.
then there is the general public, bemoaning, and grumbling about Obama's failings. The man has only been in office for a year. They are expecting miracles...but even he won't be able to perform those miracles. Change takes time, progress does not happen over night...Instead of recognizing that he is trying to fix it, and that above all he is a politician, the public is just looking for someone to blame...and Obama is the man on the seat, so off course it is all his fault. Forget congress, forget big corporations, forget the years of bad governance....it all boils down to the fact that the system is going down, and there is no one who wants to take the blame.
