Observations on US

Politics

by Ogden


(Notes available below)


Partisan politics polarizes population, preventing progress
Prominent people participate primarily for personal profit
Procrastination practiced in place of prompt problem-solving
Posterity’s promise pointlessly postponed 
Petty pettifoggery performed by power-hungry pretenders
Pusillanimous pawns parrot powerful politician
Positively the least popular profession possible!
