I think that this being embarrassing because they didn't know would be the best possible result.

hehe "Kids".

I really would like to know why you think Obama is not a good president.

Having faith in the "red, white and blue" as you say, having faith in a nation is much different than putting something forward into action. I feel like Americans are the most unappreciative, idiotic, assertive, arrogant, selfish bastards. Which is why we have done absolutely nothing. We like to sit back and judge people instead of making a difference. We like to point point point. There is a reason why I rephrased that twice. We for some damn reason CANNOT adapt to shit. No even the slightest change and now that we are stuck, we are building up priorities that are unnecessary and only so much can be done in a limited amount of time.

Also, people who based their opinions off pride and reputation are lost. We Americans never like to expect the worst in things. The fact that we've evolved as a nation (technology, sciences ect.) and have let that shape our culture is the fault. We are in no position to say "this president" would of done a great job today.

How can you live for the cause of the people, when there are too many causes, perspectives? How can you equalize a civilization, without someone whining or complaining that it is unfair?

If our attitudes don't change, we will never be happy, no matter what happens.

Everything seems rosy in hindsight. Unless you were there, I don't think you can really make an impartial judgement. Same with all the "great" presidents. I think some people have elevated certain presidents in their minds to prophets or saints. They were all just people.

The key problem Obama has had to face in pushing his goals is conservative propaganda, which has capitalised on America's old fears: communism, black culture, taxes, change, godlessness, non Christian religion, etc.

It's fairly simple on paper, the GOP helps rich people at the poor people's expense, the Democrats help poor people at the rich people's expense. And somehow a lot of poor people would rather protect the idea of the money they may one day have, than the money they have right now. And they support the idea of a trickle-down effect, of job-creators, all that rhetoric. There is no trickle-down effect. To use that same liquid based analogy, these job-creators will do anything they can to plug up all the holes and prevent any of their tasty money leaking out. That's how the system works.

How can any working person be in favour of removing the right to collectively bargain? Because propaganda spins it around and makes it a socialist thing. How can any person be in favour of regulating healthcare profits and widening coverage? Because the Nazis did it and therefore it must be evil. How can anyone not support a repeal of don't ask don't tell in the face of an overwhelming majority of armed forces declaring it unnecessary? Because God apparently doesn't like 'dem homersexuals.

i'm so fucking pissed!

The dock where I go to write my songs, stories, papers, the place where I always go to meditate got struck by lightning :( I'm gonna miss that bench :(

Oh right! And you feel as if we would of voted for the other idiot, all these problems would be resolved and we would be living in la la Disney land. Everyone would be holding hands, singing Kumbaya.

I do believe Kumbaya is the national anthem of the alternative world...so probably.

meh, Obama will do. I know that even before he took office that his whole "change" and "yes we can" slogans and catchphrases were really just a bunch of crap. yeah, he made some significant steps in American legislature, but it was still very overblown his entire campaign, and that led many away from him. He still is doing a good job, but it's not like he's the "greatest president to have ever lived", and quite frankly, I don't care if he gets re-elected or not. They're still just gonna put in another puppet head if he loses. American government is all bullshit, and a cry of PR

Tomorrow at midday heralds my last ever day at university. That will be me finished forever. You people think I've RP'd a lot lately. You ain't seen nothing yet lol. 24 hour constant RP coming up lol

Haha, I look forward to it. (If you want to get involved in something mad, let meh know. I'm not much of a writer at the moment due to being ill - I have the lip scabs which were described by Mache in the Celebrity Tweets, plus one fucker of a head cold - but don't want to be ruled out altogether.)
