Perhaps his constituents were not so quick to throw all the blame on the president. Perhaps they were not so negative. The people of that time had their eyes on coming out of the Depression completely. Perhaps this hope is what kept the citizens during this time from electing a new president. Americans today have allowed negativity to somehow jade their view of society and our future.
Many people today make it one of their missions to cause as much trouble politically as possible.
On an even smaller scale, my father, a city council member in Winder, Ga., sees this every day. Recently, someone called him and screamed at him repeatedly to fix her cable television. Granted, her feelings are as worthy of attention as anyone else's, but there is a better way to handle these situations. I Voted For Bush. It is certainly tempting to join others in bashing the president, even if one knows nothing about the issue.
