Reply #13: I alternate between denial and sadness. [View All]

I sometimes just have to give myself a break and take my mind off of it. The reality is unbearable and I get exhausted thinking about it. But, I can't help but wonder: if * had never been president, think of what could have been done w/ the hundreds of $billions$ he has squandered. Fixing health care, REAL drug benefits for the elderly, more money for education, and not harnassing future generations with massive debt.
Money aside, I wonder: without *, our troops wouldn't be dead/maimed/in harm's way, 100,000+ Iraqis would be still be alive, we would have healthy, productive alliances with nations of the world, and our environment would be free of his threats/actions.
Instead, the greedy, corrupt, and phony gloat and reign supreme, progress is squashed, and we watch as our country is beginning its decline.
I feel hopeless, powerless, and leaderless.
