I've noticed some things over the past few months about how divided our country is around Democrat vs. Republican. The things I am seeing are scary and should be concerning to every American. People are so divided among party lines and just getting ugly about it. I posted a comment on Facebook about what I was doing a that moment, watching John Kerry debate the stimulus bill on the Senate floor, and got blasted by a guy I was friends with in grade school. His message was that Kerry was an idiot, he was a Republican, and Obama was worthless. There was no, hey how are you? What have you been up to the last 25-30 years? Kind of sad. I also heard from my daughter that one of the kids in her class told the class that Obama is going to make the go to school 6 days a week. I wonder where that kid heard that. I know I am probably just as guilty as the next person by letting my daughters here unkind words towards our last President. I was not a Bush supporter in the 2000 elections, but was supportive and respected the guy through 9/11 and up until we invaded Iraq for no reason. I still don't think he is a bad guy, but more of a poor CEO that surrounded himself with bad advisors. He believed his decisions were in the best interests of the country.
I am disgusted to hear comments about our new President sucking or being worthless. The guy inherited two wars, and the economic disaster and has only been in in office for 3 weeks. Let's judge after a term and people can vote on how he has done in 2012. You can't pre-judge based on his party affiliation. It's not that black and white.
Why can't we all just be Americans working to make our country better? Think about it?
