Peggy Noonan sums up my feelings about the current political situation

In a column on wsj.com today titled Playing Frisbee on a Precipice and subtitled America's political class lacks the seriousness this moment demands, Peggy Noonan sums up nicely my feelings about the current political situation. Both candidates are speaking sound bites rather than addressing issues, and no one is forcing them to do otherwise.

The candidates are slinging mud at on another rather than trying to prove why they are the candidate with the better platform. The media, and the masses following them, are eating up all this mud-slinging and begging for more.

It's all terribly ugly, quite frustrating and rather depressing.

I can't wait for the election to be over, and for the nation to move on and deal with the issues in front of us.
