Public figureheads and accountability

There are several and easy ways to filler buster any act of accountability but the brave, ethical people who love their country stand up and face the music. Easy to say but extremely difficult to find these type of people, because people willing to be accountable for their actions are a species on the endanger for extinction list. I am appalled with anyone passing the puck but I truly dislike any public figurehead who uses the public airwaves to avoid any responsibility or accountability.  Why the heck do we vote for these people at the first place?  Do we do it just to secure a comfortable income for them or to put them on a pedestal? It seems that it is the case, because as citizens we do not react strongly against the political bull shit.  The empty promises, public resources mismanagement, and negligence are treated as if it is “comedy central”.  The common theme for politicians and other public figureheads is that “they will have a meeting to discuss and plan on how they will address a specific problem”!  How about doing their job and implementing existing legislation by holding people accountable for their actions and most importantly holding themselves accountable as opposed to hiding behind “busy work” and “bulls shit fill blah blah”. Citizens should wake up and smell the coffee and realize that political figureheads are accountable to us and we should hold them to the highest standards and expectations.
