Presidential Hate

Obama has Benghazi; Bush 2 has 9/11; Clinton has the embassy bombings; Bush 1 has the Tiananmen Square massacre; Reagan has the Beirut barracks bombing. Horrible things happen during every presidency. Do you hate every President? Would a different President have stopped all the bad that other people do? It's one thing to hate policy. It's another thing to hate the President. Maybe you didn't vote for some of them, but your fellow Americans did. Haven't you ever heard God, Country, Family, Self? Notice, 'Country' is #2, 'Self' is #4. The country and constitutional process volunteers protect elected all of our Presidents, even if you didn't.

Take a step back and look at things through a fellow American's eyes. If you were an 18-year-old Mexican-American with a 19-year-old 'illegal' brother, how would you feel about the DREAM Act? If you were an epileptic that previously couldn't get health insurance, how would you feel about Obamacare? What if you were the owner of a business that's barely breaking even and overburdened by regulation, or a hard working, self-made success facing disproportionately higher taxes?

You won't get your way through hate. You might not even get your way... that's the American way. If you want your extreme, Somalia or North Korea are a few plane rides away. Presidents aren't here for you; they're here for us.
