BBC NEWS | Americas | Bush named 'Person of the Year'
probably the right decision, but saddening nonetheless. the thing that frustrates me most about the current regime is not any particular policy, but the abrasive undercurrent of alienation of the left felt in its rhetoric when taken as a whole.
i mean, i'm not naive enough to think that this doesn't occur with every president to a certain extent. and it's true that i only reached a level of political awareness during the clinton presidency, but in my mind it is important to rule, not by carving out and galvanizing a 51% majority, but by endeavoring to represent the perspectives and sentiments of the country as a whole. i have not seen that occur enough during president bush's term of office and i hope that i'm proven wrong during his second term. ¶ 10:18 PM
