reactions to bush farewell address

"he is the president so why is he asking us to fix things! Thats his job."

I rest my case. I have no words to explain the discrepancy between reality and this dream land that a young woman from facebook inhabits. I would name her, but to be fair, this is probably the attitude of a great many people who could never be bothered to actually read the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, or the Federalist Papers. I'm more and more convinced we need some manner of common sense check in order to allow people to vote in this country.. because the government does not exist (or cannot exist for long) to provide for the people in their needs and wants.
