Nope, not happy at all. It wasn't a happy thread to start, but wanted to get it off my chest.
Besides what relevant does that have to do with the topic anyway?

Don't make out like "idiot" was the general consensus.
You can change your own life and ignore the Government's misdemeanours... but only for so long. There will come a point where you're forced to hold the Government accountable for difficulties in your life. We may not be there yet but we're getting there fast. Strange that we British are famous for not complaining and yet its the Americans in this thread who want to remove all blame from the Government and quietly place it squarely upon the more unfortunate among us.
Yes, you can better your own life. Let's all do that first and foremost. But let's also keep a quiet eye on our leaders to make sure they're doing right by us in the long run.

Most of the people calling him an idiot are not excusing the government but pointing out that he refuses to make changes, gives $10 for the tooth fairy, etc. His alleged lies (personally I think he was serious and is trying to cover his butt for coming off like a true idiot) make him look like a total schmuck and he has been called on it over and over.

Talking about being angry. Wow!
It's not like kids lose teeth everday, or everyweek, or every month, or every 6 months. Hell every year for that matter. So if $10 is that big of a deal to you, then you've got more problems than I.

By the way, giving your kid two bucks instead of ten is still appreciated by the kid

Keep in mind the price after 2004 when this loser was re-elected.
Just because you hold an office in this countries government doesn't give you the right to break the law.
