I have read the interview, and I find myself becoming a little upset with the electoral college, to a point that my vote was wasted on a candidate that was not going to become president because the election was fixed before the votes were even counted.  I also find myself a little upset at Senator Kerry for not challenging the results of the electoral college, it would seem that he did not to become president, and now with the voters of Ohio calling for a recount or re-vote he turned a deaf ear to them, and to every citizen in the nation, who voted for him.  I find it appalling that we have a president that would or has stooped these types of tactics to win an election.  How can this president try to spread democracy to other nations, and speak of fair elections in other nations when his election and re-election is somewhat tainted?  The nations of the world have lost a lot of respect for the office of president, since George W. Bush has sat in that chair.  I feel that as long as this administration is in the White House, we will not ever get the respect this country once had nor will this nation ever be look at as world leader.  I do not think that the man we call president now knows, what the office of President of the United States use to mean, perhaps he should take a course in civics, and read the two documents that the nation was founded on, and how they apply to the office.  I think before this nation tries to spread democracy to others, and bring free and honest elections to other nations, our democracy has to work at getting honest and free elections back in this nation.  Every senator, and representative in Congress of both parties, that believes in the Constitution, should step up and challenge the results of the vote count in Ohio, especially Senator John Kerry.
