a youth's project

So Beginith the Rant:

Yesterday I was sitting in my office preparing some last minute odds and ends killing a little time before youth group actually started. One of the youth came in and asked a two part question. One part I honestly couldn't answer, which saddens me. Before I tell you a question, I want to inform you that he young man is a 15 year old high school student and the question is the topic of an assignment for a class.
No this isn't one of those, "Are you smarter than a 15 year old situations". Because the question was, "What is one recent example of someone in government making good policy, and one example of someone in government making bad policy?"

One half of that question I can answer a lot, and I did. I ran down the list of boobs from local government all the way up to professional boobs in Washington, capped with our Commander and Chief. (both present and recently past, I have to say that so people don't think I'm a racist)
Which brings me to the sad part. I couldn't think of one single person who actually made a good policy in recent memory...
Surely someone had made a good political policy recently, but how could I not nail it down? Maybe because each news station only tears down the choices of the leadership because its what sells, and that's why we only hear about the flaws. Surely it can't be that our government has so lost touch with we the people (its constituency) and it only passes policies to pander to the smallest of interest and groups that keep them in office, not giving a flying rats arse about what's the best for the country, the majority of its people, and its future.
So I will end with this. Can you answer the question? I hope you can, and I hope you share it with me. I need some hope that good people are actually in office.

So endith the rant:
