Someone asked me the other day how it was to be 'in charge'. Politically - as in the White House, and both houses of Congress. I thought about it for a minute and said, 'I don't know. I've never been in charge before.'
I used to have to almost apologize for being a democrat.
I'm a democrat from Utah, which is kind of a joke. Not that there are not other democrats from Utah, but when I say that I am a d from Utah, I don't think I've ever had anything other than a comment about how rare/unique/odd/crazy I am. Followed by - wow, they must miss you....
But now 'I' am in charge. 'I' can pass laws and the President will actually sign them. 'I' can do whatever 'I' want with bill language and if 'I' can get enough folks behind it, it just goes through - just like that. I am a lot more popular now than I ever was in the minority. (Realizing of course, that people don't like me because I'm funny.)
It's very random.
I think that I'll get used to the power and figure out how to really start doing some good things...right about the time when the d's go a step too far and the Rs take back control. Because if you think you are in a good/bad place now, just wait until the next election.
