I don't even want to look at the news today.

I am burned out. I am tired of being a member of a party that is so totally fucking incompetent at standing up for itself. We pissed away the opportunity handed us in the 2008 election. We were unable or unwilling to make use of the mandate we had. We spent two years bending over backward trying not to offend anyone, knuckling under to the fake offense generated by the right-wing media, and utterly failing to make our case, in anything approaching a compelling way, to the American people.

I. Am. Tired.

I don't consider myself a democrat or a republican though I do tend to vote for democrats. I am so disheartened that the party that supposedly cares for small business (republicans) are instead standing for mega corporations and shitting on us, and democrats who are actually doing a lot for small business are somehow not getting the credit. And I am disheartened that I feel so out of step with many fellow Americans. I just don't understand people, sometimes.

Some tea partier was raging about the TARP and I kept yelling at the radio "DUDE, that was BUSH who did that, NOT OBAMA. Don't you fucking remember who got us into this mess??????" Or the people yelling "Obamacare is going to destroy medicare and force government healthcare on you!" Um, really? Can people be that stupid?

Like Obama had this magic wand he was given upon entering the oval office that will fix everything and he failed to do so because he, what, wanted to save the sparkles for himself? WTF?
