Loan Moan

So, you have to be in business for 6 months or more before you can apply for a business loan since most banks don't seem to believe in financing a start-up from the ground floor. Who makes up these silly rules?

Oh. Right. The bank/the people with the money.

My mistake.

Me? Politics?

I was reading an article on Yahoo! News about President Bush today and there was a paragraph that really made me wonder about his reasoning skills. No, I'm not calling him dumb or making fun of him, I just really want to know how his logic circuits are wired.

Here is the paragraph with his direct quote:

Bush rejected criticism from Democrats that his administration had not paid enough attention to the brewing North Korean nuclear crisis. "The North Korean situation was serious for years," he said in a veiled swipe at former
President Clinton.

So there's what he said, and here's what I'm wondering:

What the hell does that have to do with the fact that there's no one paying attention to it now?! President Bush, just because someone else didn't do their job, that is not a good enough reason for you not to do yours!

I just don't understand politics and politicians sometimes, which is why I want to be President. I think I'd be pretty easy to understand. I try not to talk out of the side of my mouth like so many politicians seem to do, I am willing to take action when I think it's necessary and also willing to talk when I have to do that. Most importantly, I can take suggestions, handle criticism, and know that when something I mess something up, it's okay to fess up to it and try to fix it - I'm only human.
