Poli Sigh

Currently watching the State of the Union Address. Sigh.

If anybody wants to know why so very little seems to get done in Washington, it may be because our government leaders - Republicans and Democrats alike - are too busy posing for national television as bi-partisan politicians who like each other (when they really aren't and don't).

A few quotes come to mind this evening:

"The reason there are so few female politicians is that it is too much trouble to put makeup on two faces." Maureen Murphy

"In America you can go on the air and kid the politicians, and the politicians can go on the air and kid the people." Groucho Marx

I don't mean to sound too cynical here, but are you fooled by the bi-partisan rhetoric and hand-clapping? Anybody else have any real hopes as to what has or is going to change?

Me either.
