Has America become SO shallow and lazy that we do not expect anyone to take responsibility for anything?

Why do we let presidential hopefuls get away with telling us what they think the other guy did wrong? TAKE RESPONSIBILITY! Tell me what YOU did RIGHT! What are your goals and dreams?

Hello Barack Obama.

Hello John McCain.

And just as importantly, why do I feel so helpless to change things?
