I have begun to think that we have hit a point where this nation's median intelligence (and I don't mean book learning, Jethro) has dropped below a point where we can pick the right people- should they exist- to fix our problems.<br /><br />For example, let us try to look at our current administration in the best possible light. Say that their philosophy IS one of caring, looking out for the rights of all men, trying to make a better world. They gather the best and brightest of those who believe as they do to build this utopia. And what happens? They roll out an insurance website so flawed that some experts claim it would take another 5 years to fix it, and would be better off to start over from scratch. The cabinet-level official in charge of the project is going to her contractors demanding they put "the top of their A-list people" on it. They didn't test for bugs (ye olde "pass it, then we'll find out what's in it" mentality), they didn't take the advice of those who told them they needed to delay it, and now everyone's too busy trying to cover the POTUS's (or, as a Facebook wag abbreviated it the other day, POSUS)behind to do what is needed- call a delay and FIX IT.<br /><br />Remember, the best and the brightest?<br /><br />And there are people who voted for this administration- poor people convinced they were going to get "Obama money", union workers sure that Harry Reid had their best interests at heart, and conservatives that wouldn't take the first small step to improvement by voting for Romney because he wasn't their perfect candidate. (In such manner we in Indiana put Joe Donnely in Congress). <br /><br />Maybe not all of us have the government we deserve. But we're on one end of the population curve and the bubble's fast approaching the other end. So, yeah, I think this is all about having the government we deserve. <br /><br /> God knows Fort Wayne isn't any better, so full of GOP good ol' boys who can't accept a woman mayor that we've spent how many years with that swindler Tom Henry in office?CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.com
