@elguapo:Â Yeah.. I'm sure. With the electorate that put Obama in office, It wouldn't surprise me if we did get her next.
@BlissfullyRetired:
Sadly, it wouldn't surprise me either, sad state of affairs we're in, when we've let our well of good politicians run dry.
@elguapo:Â My wife and I were talking this morning about the Brian Williams situation and how when a trusted personality in the news media lies to us.. they can no longer be trusted. It seems that for some reason we don't hold our politicians to the same standard. In fact, we expect it from our politicians. We make excuses by saying things like "they all lie" and somehow that's supposed to make it OK to vote for them. It's just as important or more so that those making the decisions that affect our lives.. tell us the truth. I think that if most of the voters demanded more integrity from our politicians we could avoid ever having another administration like this one. From what I've heard from and about Ben Carson, I believe he is an honest, common sence candidate that will tell the truth. I think that may be to his detriment though since it seems that the electorate that put Obama in office prefers to be told what they want to hear as opposed to the truth.
