Obama: You Get the Politicians You Deserve

EXCERPT:

OBAMA: "It's millions of decisions that are being made individually that end up having as much impact as anything. That's certainly true in our democracies. People have a tendency to blame politicians when things don't work, but as I always tell people, you get the politicians you deserve. And if you don't vote and if you don't participate and if you don't pay attention, then you'll get policies that don't reflect your interest."
