Not quite eight years ago, I voted for a man who I thought would<\/p>\n
go to Washington, DC. and kick ass. He could have done it, damn near<\/p>\n
the whole country had his back. Yet he did not, for lack of a better word<\/p>\n
he caved.<\/p>\n
The first indication I personally perceived was his appointment of one<\/p>\n
of the Wall Street arsonists to the Treasury secretaryship.<\/p>\n
When I say arsonists, I mean the people that burned down the economy.<\/p>\n
The fact that this president bailed out the likes of the above, instead of<\/p>\n
the people that voted for him\u00a0or for that matter\u00a0 those who didn’t,<\/p>\n
said it all and made me realize my mistake.<\/p>\n
Yes, he was bullied. Shit man, put the bully in front of me,us, the voters.<\/p>\n
Yet he chose not to rock the boat. A pity. As I ponder the last eight years<\/p>\n
the word charlatan comes to mind. Funk and Wagnalls def. “n. one who<\/p>\n
makes claim to skill and knowledge he does not possess; an impostor;<\/p>\n
quack. [<F<Ital. ciarla-chat, idle talk.] I shouldn’t be so hard on him<\/p>\n
as I’m quite sure he will not be alone in the Pantheon of Presidents.<\/p>\n
