The Long And Winding Road…

…I watched our President on Meet the Press this morning. For the first time in my life I actually craved for a commercial break while watching tv. My head started to swim with terms like “War on Terror” and “Shadowy Networks.” The President seemed a little on edge, perhaps because he saw his poll numbers drop just a little bit more during the weekend.
Regardless of how the Democratic primaries turn out, it will be an interesting six or so months between then and the general elections. Personally, I hope that whoever runs on the Demo ticket in November really brings out the “sit at home and don’t vote” pundits. If the early primaries are any indicator, a lot more people are turning out to make their voices heard. Mostly because of their extreme hatred of Bush.
When Clinton was President, I never could really understand the conservative hatred for him. All of the taxpayer-funded investigations into his business and personal life only turned up a marital indiscretion. Is that really all they could come up with? For eight years, Republicans did anything they could bring down Clinton’s administration and tarnish his legacy. In the end, he was responsible for the legacy that we have today. The funny thing is that Clinton is smarter then that. He should have know how this would have all turned out.
Bush on the other hand is not smart. He says things like “War on Terror” and people put their blinders on and just follow. We need some accountability again. At least during Clinton’s years, the rest of the world listened to what we had to say. Only time will tell.
