I don't agree that all politicians are shit people. I'm sure there are many decent ones who truly want to do what's best for their country. The problem is that everyone has a different idea of what is best, so no politician will ever appeal to everyone. The fact that they weren't prepared in DC for what happened yesterday shows how complacent the gov't (especially Congress) has gotten in the U.S. They feel they can do whatever they want and the people will just lie down and take it. Now they know better.
