Why is that such a hard question to answer? They wouldn't be there without the votes of the folks who elected them. Why aren't THEY the top priority? Are the Pols that obtusely removed from the reality of their circumstances? Do they not KNOW for whom they work? It is WE THE PEOPLE not the President. Because the president WORKS FOR US TOO. He is nothing more than another employee. SIGH. Why do some seem so oblivious to that fact?
