Presidential Tirade

I get the distinct impression that as a democratic "free" society we are taking a long walk off a short cliff. I have a hard time stomaching the idea that we should be allowing elected officials on either side of the fence to start gathering money during their "work" time. As president I understand the need to fund future campaigns but for fucks sake does it have to start up almost 2 years in advance and involve visiting extremely busy areas to attend benefit dinners. We are seeing an economic crisis that has not really been given proper boundaries (in the sense of when it really began and when it is projected to end) yet here he is campaigning for not only himself but for other people within his party.

Again I UNDERSTAND this is not unique to one party and believe that the playing ground needs to be leveled if it's not fair for both then neither can take advantage. Would just love to have a leader on one of the sides take a stand and refuse to do it. Come out and make it your message, I bet people would flock to you in droves regardless of political affiliations.

Back to the original point though, I find it funny that he is talking about being one of the working class and fighting for us. Then shows up on a Monday in one of the busiest cities in the union and expects everyone commuting to just deal with it. THAT's BULLSHIT, clear and simple. Come out on a weekend and depart in the wee hours of the morning, don't affect everyone around you and expect us to sit in traffic for an extra 3+ hours. Beyond that I pity my friends and family who have to travel in the shit storm on Monday and Tuesday... as the saying goes pack a lunch!
