The list goes on and on...

I can understand the frustration you might have with people like that, but if we can't trust/expect our government (by and for the people) to make somewhat decent decisions for us then maybe we need to appoint a King and not a President and forget that America ever existed. We expect the best in here, its what makes us great. When we start settling for what we've got we might as well dissolve the Union because what would be the point?
