Is 'Enough' Enough?

Barack Obama said this yesterday

This happens every election cycle. Every four years. This is what we do. We've got an energy crisis. We have an education system that is not working for too many of our children and making us less competitive. We have an economy that is creating hardship for families all across America. We've got two wars going on -- veterans coming home not being cared for -- and this is what they want to talk about. This is what they want to spend two of the last 55 days talking about."

"You know who ends up losing at the end of the day? It's not the Democratic candidate. It's not the republican candidate. It's you, the American people, because then we go another year or another four years or another eight years without addressing the issues that matter to you. Enough."

"I don't care what they say about me, but I love this country too much to let them take over another election with lies and phony outrage and swift-boat politics. Enough is enough."

Fuckin-A.

What the man said just there is a perfect dissection of what the dishonest Republicans dish out, what the lapdog media serve to the American people, and what the American people swallow - every day, not just every four years. Nobody in the equation is blameless (and that includes Democrats), but someone has to stop the bullshit. The Republicans have to stop producing it, the media have to stop serving it and the people have to stop eating it. Republicans get rich off doing it, so that leaves them out. The media too, so unless they have credibility they're out of the equation. So its up to us, the people, to say no. I thought for a while that enough people were fed up with this bullshit, but now I don't know. I hope enough is enough.
