I don't know how many times now I've heard someone say, "He would just be the president, it's not like he would have the sole power to control our country!" about Obama. Then turn around and say that Bush has single handedly destroyed America. WTF??
I think as an American public, we the people need to step up and actually give a damn about the society we live in. I do not understand why every January for the last 6/7 years millions of people sit and watch tens of thousands of people, 2 to 3 nights a week for 5 months and vote between what a final 12 or 24 to be the next American Idol. If we can do that every January, then why can't we start a similar voting process 12 months prior to each election? Let's choose between a couple of dozen people, rather than between two political party's and whomever has the money or the ability to get money from their supporters to represent those parties.
Also, I think there should be a cap on what is allowed to be spent for campaigning. The country is in horrid shape right now financially, but our candidates are spending millions upon millions of dollars (of course not their money, their supporters money) on television, radio and printed ads! WTF?????? You have the average family at risk of losing the home they live in while these bastards just spent enough to pay off said families mortgage for a 10 second radio ad! AHHHH anyway, I'd keep ranting if it actually made a difference.
