We elect politicians because they say they will look out for our interests. The general publics interest.
So why do other politiciancs not support the soon to be gone president. I was under the impression that a president would do his best to finish what he started. I would also expect the congress to support him. But I guess that would be to nonpartisan of them to do that.
So I suppose all we can expect from our elected leaders is two years of lip service. We will get more lies from both parties on what they will do for us. It's a vicious cycle. We can just wait and react to the next crisis rolls around to see who we can blame and oust out of office. Lets hope it's not another horrific 9/11.
