For the BOG - Feeling a bit down could use some support from my brothers and sisters at BOG [View all]

I see the personal attacks against the President have started up again on this site. No matter how hard I try that's all I ever see the concern members of this site bashing the President. I think I'm getting burned out on all of this political stuff. Have any of you ever thought about taking a break from it for a while?
