As most or all of my loyal readers (all 3 of you) know Obama has made his rounds across the globe talking with and giving speeches abroad. Now here I sit at my little desk thinking to myself, I don't remember Germany being part of the US and voting for OUR President. So he goes over there and is a big hit with the locals and now all you see is Obama. If your old enough (and I'm not) when TV first started there were like 3 channels and If the President was on you night was shot... It seems as though that is how it is now. All I see is Obama this and Obama that, and McCain in the background going "Hey guys I'm over here"(thanks Jay Leno.)
Still it bothers me that that this guy has gone over to other country's to talk about the things it is he would like to do as President. My opinion is he has told them more than he has told us. I personally fell that the public who has given the candidates millions of dollars just payed them to go on a damn Vacation. As if were not gonna do that enough once one of them gets into office.
I don't see what all the big hype is about Obama. Yeah hes part Black, and he speaks well. Rather the guy is a condescending fool. He talks about how this country is the greatest country in the world. Then he says WE NEED CHANGE. Yeah we need change, we need to get rid of all the corrupt politicians. We need to quit paying congressman and senators hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. That's the change we need. Most of them are in it for the money. They don't want to make a difference. I say we cut the salary to $50,000.00 a year and when they are done they don't still get paid! Then and only then will we see people running of office that really do care.
If that were to happen with in the first 180 days you would see big change. Bills like the fair tax would come onto the floor and be votes on instead of getting held up in committee. You would see a immigration bill finally passed and in place. You would see a better economy and lower gas prices. The thing with politicians is most of them were born with a silver spoon or in some cases a platinum spoon in their mouth. They don't know what its like to be broke, have your power shut off or a car get repossessed because it was either feed you children or make the car payment. My question is how can you help the poor if you've never been broke. How can you worry about tax increases when you don't pay taxes. How can you fix gas prices when you don't pay for your own gas. How can you understand the High cost of health care when its given to you. The answer is you cant. The only problem with getting normal everyday people in office is they don't have the money to beat the incumbent.
However if we were to put a cap on how much a candidate could raise then maybe us little people who have ideas would be able to make it into office.
Having said that it brings me to my next rant. Time in office. The President can only be in office 2 terms. A Governor can only be in a certain amount of time and it depends on the State. Now why can congressman and senators be in 100 years like OL Teddy. 4 terms thats it. UNLESS you have done something really wonderful during the time you have been in office then you can run for another term. If you haven't done shit you cant run. If you don't vote on alot bills then you CANT run for reelection.Simple as that. Our Country itself doesn't need change the people who make our laws and legislate need to change. And that is a fact. We live in a great country and this country will remain great as long as the people who live remember that they are the voice and the people in Washington work for us. We are a country of Representatives, we hire them to do our bidding and I think its high time we fire damn near everyone of them!!!! Thank you for reading and please leave your comment!!
