I think another of the many systems broken in our country is our political one. There are about 15 people who are running for president at this moment, and none of them on either side seem to be particularly talented or even principled. I get the feeling they all just say whatever it takes to get them votes. And I understand that it is expected that $1 billion will be spent by the candidates on the 2008 election. How appalling.

While I am one who believes that Bush will in fact go down as one of our worst presidents ever, my greater fear is whoever replaces him may be no better. Wish I could feel more optimistic but I just don't.
