Stepping down is something that he properly does not want to do because he might believe he can do good (also, I suspect few would want to give up that position so quickly)

Also, My point about obsession is that this public attitude is not something Unique to Brown, or Blair. It's extends to most, of not all, politicians and also other people who serve the public. Such as police and to a lesser extent medical professionals. It's just a disrespect to authority, public service and often times people who have achieved something.

Is that an indictment of the public or just the calibre of our politicians?
