I’m pretty big into politics, at least into watching and laughing at them. Mainly because if I didn’t laugh, I’d go insane thinking that these are the guys running our country. But you know what? I’ve been listening (and researching and reading his book and watchng the debates, etc, etc) to Obama and I almost believe he’s for real. That’s he’s not just saying bullshit, that it isn’t just a game with him. I’m not 100% sure since he’s a politician and all, but I find myself wanting to believe and care and think this man will actually do good by our country.
A president I can vote for instead of just voting for the man less evil? That’s unheard of, but I did that today.
This country needs someone is going to treat the american public like adults, instead of straight faced lying to them. Someone who will surround himself with competent, useful people, instead of hiring cronies to run things like FEMA (that worked great!). We need someone is going to take being president seriously, constantly, and not do it because god mandated it, but because they feel they have something to offer to the job, to the country, to the people.
I hope this is that man.
What Would Matt Do: I’d like to think I’m not alone.
