OBAMA!

If I had twenty minutes with our new president, I'd ask him about his plans for a reboot of our economy, the national debt, a strategic exit plan from Iraq, and a suitable healthcare system. I also would like him to explain his views on abortion, capital punishment, and gay rights. I have an idea of his proposed policies, but having him explain further and in more detail would help create a clearer picture of the direction of our country.
There's plenty of propaganda out there and I think having the opportunity to sit down and actually talk with him would be an amazing privilege. I'm thoroughly sick and tired of hearing people slander whichever candidate they oppose. 'He doesn't have a valid birth certificate, he's a terrorist, he's the antichrist', and other ignorant things like that. No one actually knows the truth, everyone is just repeating what they heard from unreliable sources. Elections bring out the worst in people. Many begin to act like rabid animals, spewing self-righteous bullshit here and there. The vote is in, we should be acting like Americans and coming together.

I think that in four years our economy will hopefully be more stable, our nation at peace with the rest of the world, and everyone will get the care they deserve in hospitals. That reminds me. Most of those who spout off about how our country is going to become socialist don't even know what they're talking about. "LET'S MOVE TO CANADA" really? they're much more socialist than our country will ever be. People say these things without taking a second to consider what the facts of what they're actually saying. It's quite mindless. I just wish only people with researched/calculated opinions were allowed to share it with others. In my personal life four years from now, I'll hopefully be finishing college and starting a career. I'll be happy and hopefully living somewhere warm. When I'm 40 I'll be married to some hot ambitious man with about three children. We'll be classy.
