I’m not going to say that anybody should be obliged to settle for “good enough” when it comes to their elected representatives – quite the opposite, in fact – but it seems to me that before one criticises a representative for their failure to do a thing, one ought to be aware of whether the office in question actually has the authority to do the thing.
Like how so many people seem to legitimately believe that Obama controls the price of a gallon of gas.
Do they think there’s some magical dial on his desk that raises or lowers the price of gas to suit his political agenda???
