"I didn't vote for him, but he is my president, and I hope he does a good job"

Keith Olbermann's special comment tonight was incredible. He began with the aforementioned quote from none other than John Wayne.

This is the way that I grew up thinking of the presidency. It was how my father taught me to view the president and how he viewed him. But W has turned that all on its head. He does not listen or respond to the will of the people whom he is supposed to be serving. He is an island unto himself and he cares not what the people who elected him think of what he does. At this point it has become clear that he will do what he wants and there is none to stop him. We have merely to wait until he leaves office. What a long wait that will be!
