A friend asked me last night if I was going to submit a question to the Presidential debate at Yearly Kos. I had to think about it for a minute, then I realized that my question isn’t so much for the whole group of candidates, but rather for the four who are currently U.S. Senators. So, here’s my question:
Senator Biden, Senator Clinton, Senator Dodd, and Senator Obama, why the hell are you here and not in Washington doing your job? I understand that campaigning is important, but the election is nearly a year and a half away. The primaries are still six months away. Is all this glad-handing really necessary?
If you really want to prove to me that you should be the next U.S. President, then cool it with this pas de deux you’re locked into with the media and act like you actually care about your current job. The people who elected you are still counting on you to be their Senator, and the people of the U.S. are counting on you to help do something about the current, miserable state of affairs in our nation’s capital.
