I hate that our politicians are behaving like children. I get it, they're pissed at each other, and for understandable reasons. But, our elected officials are held to a higher standard because they set examples for the rest of us. That whole mess didn't look good for either side, and the fact that there ARE "sides" should be of concern to both of those kids.
