Does anyone else get tired of hearing a politician say what Americans want?
When said politician was elected by the voting population of his district, which is usually small unfortunately, and from that less than overwhelming voting population of his district presumes to speak for all America? As though a group of people in Indiana or Florida or New York or South Dakota can be said to represent all of us? That's a crock. It's also my pet peeve.

1. Most politicians living in the washington d.c. bubble have no idea........
what Americans are going through and what Americans need. The stimulus bill makes that abundantly clear.

2. Um, yup.
I'm pretty sure I know what I want and often even politicians I like get it wrong.
