Obama
I really don't know what to say about him. Here's this guy who seems to be doing the best he can in politics, and from the video we watched, he seems like a nice fellow. He is obviously a good speaker, highly educated with morals. The only things I know about him however are that he said he would take out the troops, and that he cut the space program. To my knowledge he didn't take out the troops (though I don't really know, because I know nothing about the world or politics) and cutting the space program makes me mad. I honestly believe that space is the only hope for the world. We're cutting down our resources and we have 7 billion people living on the planet. There's a definite problem here. We need to colonize the moon or find other life or something out there that will help us. Plus the space thing would unite us as a world, which would be bitchin'. I don't like the military thing because I'm a pacifist and I don't like the thought of the U.S. meddling in other countries. But again I really don't know the whole story, or basically any of it. I never watch the news, I never read about the news. The only news I ever hear about is from my classmates or teachers. I just don't care to be honest. I'm happy to talk about my opinions, but sometimes I just really don't have any on a subject. Plus you know every president is flawed. Everyone gets mad at every president for something. Well duh, they're human. What do you expect? I just don't get people. Or the draw of politics. It is all simply too much for me.

Haha, that last part is so much like me! I don't watch the news or anything, the only way I find out what is happening in politics is if my dad is ranting or something big happens that people are talking about. I'm not exactly proud of this however, because that means that I know almost nothing about what is going on in my country, and I when I actually do hear news, I don't understand the larger significance to it. Like you said, I don't know the back story.
ReplyDeleteYeah pretty much. I should make a better effort on that front.
