Politicians


Is it just me, or have our current (and most of our previous) politicians been out of touch with the average Joe?  They seem to focus on policies that cater to large businesses, special interests groups, or just themselves. I honestly don't think those in the White House have our best interests in sight. Maybe they think they do, but come on. Health care is not a priority for this nation, getting more troops to Afghanistan is. I don't want anymore Government run programs affecting the way I live, do you?

I propose we find the few honest politicians and get term limits in posed on all current or future politicians. No one to be allowed more than two terms. And lets require them to work at least 6 months in an average Joe job before they can take office. Jobs like retail sales, picking fruit, stocking, or maybe even working at a restaurant. Something that allows them to get familiar with the people they will be working for. Remember the Government was built to work for the people!

The current state of affairs at the White House looks dim to those of us who pay attention. Consider a postcard I saw, it was from the era of World War 2. I believe it had the phrase, “Peace Negotiations” or something along that line with Uncle Sam bending over and the foreign leaders puckering up.
Today we see the exact opposite, President Obama is puckering up all over the world and apologizing for everything the USA has done.

I didn't know being the greatest Nation is the world was a bad thing!
It isn't, but it looks like Obama thinks so.

What do you think?
