Big Disappointments

Sometimes I can't believe our government.  I have been a loyal Democrat for as long as I have been able to vote but I am so disappointed in the actions of Congress, The White House, The Department of Justice and everyone else in government.  I am disgusted by the depth of corruption and greed that permeates government and business.
Here the majority of the people want a public option in the Health Care Reform Bill but very few Senators are listening.  I admire the courage of those Senators who have put their names on a letter to Harry Reid asking that the public option be a part of the bill and be adopted through the reconciliation process.  Where is the presidential leadership on this issue?  The Congress has the best health care available but they would deny their constituents the same opportunity.  How can this be happening?  The lack of concern for the ordinary citizen is unbelievable.
Then today the Department of Justice overrides a two year investigative report on the authorization of torture and claims that the attorneys involved are only guilty of poor judgment.  This is wrong.  Then Dick Cheney admits to being in favor of water boarding which is a war crime but will anything happen to him?  Of course not.  Where is the rule of law and why is it not being applied?  If it was an ordinary citizen they would be in jail!
I could go on and on but it is too trying.  Then the Democrats will wonder why people won't vote in the mid term elections.  One reason is because we are so disappointed that the change we voted for is far from happening and very few elected people are standing up for what is right for the people and the country.  To put it bluntly this country is in a mess and I don't see how we are going to put it right.  How very sad and  depressing.
