Politics are disconnected
Senators serving personal interests
Like the practices of East Berlin
Obama in the Oval Office
Harper on Parliament Hill
Shaking hands, kissing babies
But their policies are ill"
As I thought about how dissatisfied I was with politicians, I created the rhyme above. Whether you are Pro-Harper or Pro-Obama, conservative or liberal, sane or insane (respectively), you have to have some sort of dissatisfaction with politics. While we elect politicians to represent our viewpoints, we are left to wonder whose side they are on.
I decided to read Obama's Audacity of Hope. Fine, I had to read it, and it provided insight into political life. Obama claims he and his fellow politicians work hard. But how can I trust his claim?
I would like to think the President of the most powerful country in the world is right. I hope his assertion that the money that taxpayers pay to politicians is well worth it. But I cannot help but doubt. Health care has been in proposal for a significant time now, and only recently was it passed. Moreover, many liberals have indicated this bill is far from perfect.
Until Obama turns our great continent into one of socialism, I'm out for dead Prime-Ministers to represent me.
