Politics

So, if you have been reading my facebook statuses recently, you know that a lot of them center on the political status/government of our country. I know that a lot of people probably ignore or don't like what I have to say; however, it is our responsibility to know (and have opinions about) what is going on with our elected officials and our government. We are a Republic...not a pure democracy. Our elected officials get to make decisions as they see would be best for their constituents.

Here is one of my problems with President Obama and the Progressive/Democratic/Obama policies: He chooses to say that Republicans are choosing to play a political games instead of working with what he gives them. Really? Could it be that people genuinely disagree with his political ideologies? Let it never be that anyone disagree with what he has to say...Does that sound like a president or some other type of a head of state? If he thinks that Democrats, Republicans, Progressives, Independents,and the like are going to play pretty and agree on everything, he should know better. Different parties exist because the people of the United States have different beliefs and ideas as to how this country should be run. That is why people elect officials...to have their voices heard. He should not turn a deaf ear/accuse other political parties of being unwilling to heed to his expectations/ideas just because they bring other ideas and solutions to the table.

Another problem that I have with him is that he constantly plays the victim of the Bush Administration. Seriously? Didn't he have to know what you were walking into? Our country has been a wreck, and not just as a result of George W. Bush. Was Bush perfect? Absolutely not. I just think it's lame to constantly go back to that scapegoat. I want him to stop playing the blame game and do something about the state of our country. Period.

I could truly go on for a long time, but I won't. I just want people to know what is going on in their country. I want people to be aware so that if you disagree with how things are being run, you can go vote to change things. I want you to go out and vote if you like the way things are. Just be aware of what is going on around you. Our children's futures are always at stake.
