State Of The Union

I watched the President's state of the union speech the other night. I am even more perplexed than normal with what I watched and heard. It is so aggravating to see the partisan attitudes of the members of congress. I am convinced more than ever that they don't truly represent the average American. The tendency to be at extremes of ideologies must be inherent in someone that pursues political offices. It must be their nature. As for the rest of us, it's really not. We are in the center somewhere stuck between extremes. Our legislators don't seem to have any ability to resolve issues. If our entire society possessed the same inability we would most likely be in a civil war. I have lost confidence that our representatives have our best interest in mind. They are driven by something other than what is best for the country. This is a feeling that I didn't used to have and it doesn't feel good. I pray that things can change. Just don't know if they will.
