When reading The State News Opinion Page on Feb. 9, I read Drew Olson’s response to a letter supporting President Bush (“Bush should not be our president,” SN 2/9). To my dismay I noticed that Olson stated, “I was in Washington on Inauguration Day to let him know he is not my president.”
I ask, then, with this statement has Olson denounced citizenship in the United States? I think so. If President Bush is not your president then what country are you a citizen of? I do not support one side or another of the argument, but the president of the United States is George W. Bush, and until he does something wrong - which he hasn’t - he will be in that position. I ask that we all become civilized and stop arguing about things that cannot be changed.
This nation does not need to be so hung up on who is president, but should focus on the more important issues like education. The president of the country is not the whole government, that is why we have Congress and the Supreme Court. So please, let’s stop the bickering and move on with our lives.
