Public opinion and the Pres.

I know that I am not the only person out in our little country, that, when openly stating their displeasure with our current head of government, has had someone tell them,"Hey he's your President so you have to support him." Okay, I do admit that he won, through what means I do not know, I am pretty certain that popular opinion had very little to do with it however. Now, for the sake of argument, let's say that the popular vote actually counted in this countries last election and it didn't come down to votes being counted by a computer system that is owned by a company that our current VP is heavily invested in. Let's just say that through actual charm and charisma, since good politics have nothing to do with American government, that our current fella won the office anyway. Now let's say that I am on the losing side, It was a close race but my horse didn't finish strong. So now that we have a new, popular President. My question is this. Just because he is the popular winner, does that mean I have to like him? Well the number one show in America last week was "American Idol", with 76 million viewers, does this mean I have to like like it too? In a not too distant past, the song "Macarena" was the most popular song in the country, it was also the dance that swept the nation. Did I ever do the dance, or, for that matter, hear the song all the way through? The top grossing movie of all time is "Titanic", just because public opinion is high about something am I supposed to think it is good? Public opinion and good taste do not exactly walk down the street hand in hand my friends, in fact I don't even think they live in the same town. Well, what about just plain winning? Well just because someone wins something doesn't mean you have to like them. If France won the world cup, I would still despise those damn Frenchies. Nascar is not only extremely popular but it also has a winner, if it all went "BLOOP" and disappeared one day, would it effect me in anyway? Nope. The Mighty Ducks are probably gonna win the Stanley Cup, I still hate them and their stupid name. See, you don't have to like things just because they are popular, or they won fair and square. Of course now our President has a lower popularity level than Richard Nixon during Watergate, even lower than Marie Antoinette during the whole "let them eat cake" fiasco. Maybe we can be taught after all.
