Build a Bridge & Get Over It

Sometimes I can't wait until George W. is out of office. But not because I dislike the man or have huge issues with what he's done in his one and a half terms so far. I just can't stand hearing people whine about him all the time!

Whether I'm at work, sitting at the TV in the morning, or at my cousin's birthday party, I can't escape the constant criticisms of the supposed horror that is the Bush administration. For someone who has never cared much for politics in the first place, it's even more of a nuisance. No matter how you try to link it back to him, George W. Bush did not cause your ingrown toenail. Maybe tax cuts for the rich left you without enough money to buy a toenail clipper, but that's no excuse. Borrow one from a friend or something. That may sound absurd, but that's really how people who constantly whine about the Bush administration sound to me. When anything goes wrong, immediately it's the "incompetent" president's fault. Instead of trying to find a scape goat, why don't people quit immobilizing themselves and work towards a solution? Like it or not, W. is in office for a few more years, so as a somewhat rational human being, I just think it makes more sense to stop laying the blame and start doing something about it.

And for those of you who would rather just sit on your couch and criticize, well, you can just cry me a river and then see above for further instructions.
