Musicmystery, name one, just one, president who in some way, shape or form, did not dishonor the office or title? Herein lies the big problem with American politics. Everyone that runs for office and is elected immediately starts with courting special interest groups, etc. They have a dishonest news media that, for ratings, does not report the news, but twists the truth to the point it is no longer recognizable, to help them. It does not matter what party they belong to, if they are conservative or liberal or moderate. It is about two things, money and power. The people became unimportant the day that CNN went on the air 24 hours a day broadcasting the news. The people became unimportant as when news anchors stopped reading the news off the teletype and had copy writers write the stories for them. We live in a world of sound bites and lobbyists. What is worse, is that the American people care enough to demand change. The majority of Americans feed into the bullshit like a pig to slop, and with the internet repost it with their own twist to the facts. If an asteroid hit New York city tomorrow, liberals would find some way to blame Trump and the conservatives would blame Obama, both sides would ignore the simple fact that no one could have stopped the damn thing in the first place. Politics is no longer about doing what is right for the country, but about placing blame and telling the American people who or what to be afraid of. I suggest you watch the movie Canadian Bacon, not for its entertainment value, because that is lacking, but for the parallels it has with modern America.
