Public's comments are just plain silly. In a representative democracy, people are supposed to struggle to get their elected officials to represent them. When doing so is attacked, it undermines the very legitimacy of our political system. George Q. Public’s comments are just plain silly.

Then there are those of us who support and don't expect anything in return for our support except a clean, effective and honest government...we've already found the personal affirmation in voting for Obama (specifically) and simply don't neet any more reward other than that. Half the problem with this country is that everyone feels they're 'entitled' to more just because 'their side' won. Makes those folks just the same as the group we just got rid of!
