I hope Obama gets elected for president. That’s who I’m voting for. Everytime I watch Clinton talk I get disgusted. I can see through everything she’s proposing. I was listening to a late night show that was (not surprisingly) mocking Clinton, and everything that is said about her is true. She’s been in the white house for about 15 years. She’s sucked into the way of politics and has the mindset of “say what they want to hear, do what you planned originally”. I know a lot of people are saying that she should be elected because 1) she’s a woman (which I seriously don’t care about. I’m all for women being powerful and all that jazz, but this is a clear cut case of the woman who is running having the possibility to completely screw this country up more than *gasp* Bush. Wait, that’s not even possible. Silly me.) and 2) because she’s technically backed by Bill Clinton who has had some presidency experience (sans the sexual rendezvous in the oval office. That’s why I say “some”.). Now, Clinton WAS a good present. But he was also very passive. A little too passive. Bush has clearly fucked up our economy beyond repair, but at least he DID something. Clinton just kind of avoided everything. Avoidance does work I suppose, but I think it’s time we actually have a President who is willing to work with the country and not just tell us what they think is right to do, and then enforce it regardless of what they’re ACTUALLY doing to us. Referring back to my point about bush actually doing things …Bush “did” things… like try to bomb everybody, starts wars, and hunt down katrina to bring her to justice (haha… if you didn’t hear about that it’s pretty funny). There’s a reason why he’s the most hated president in history and also the butt of every political joke in the 21st century. Hillary Clinton has a bogus healthcare system she’s trying to push through. She wants universal healthcare, and healthcare provided to EVERYBODY. The concept itself is not bad, but the results will be horrible. It’s not just going to be given to us either. We have to pay for it even if we can’t afford it. If you don’t have the luxury of having your parents pay for healthcare (which thankfully I was blessed with) then you’re pretty much screwed. You’re going to have penalties and fines to pay, when you just should have paid for the damn healthcare to begin with. She had mentioned once that she wants to make Doctors government workers. Which means medical school would be more affordable, and the standards would be lowered. Do you REALLY want some low grade doctor working on you, even though you have free healthcare? No, it doesn’t add up. You’ll have to send out to get medical operations that seem “out of the ordinary” or possibly “unneccesary” to get approved by a board. This alone will take a few months time, 2 minimum. I’m sorry, but when it comes to medicine I don’t think that’s a place to skimp. I think our healthcare is just fine. I know medicare and medicaid is something that we all take out of our paychecks (unwillingly) but at least it’s going to people who can’t afford it. If you want good healthcare, you have to work hard to get it. It’s not like we’re not providing healthcare at all, and there’s alot of pro-bono work that gets done for cases that are extreme. I probably sound like an asshole right about now, and I don’t meant to come off like I’m sitting on a high horse, but I don’t want out system to get any worse than it already is. Obama wants to do something about the problems we have right now, and work them from the inside out. He actually wants to change the way things are, rather than mask our poverty and turn us into socialists. Oh, did I mention that Hilary wants to push us towards socialism? She wants everybody to be equal, and have the same opportunities… which is nice. But not attainable. That’s like saying we want world peace. No matter how hard we work towards it, we can’t control human nature. It is in human nature to strive for the best, be above and beyond, and be competitive. We want to be the best, have the best, make the most out of our lives. Why take away capitalism? One reason why our country is considered the land of the free is because we’re allowed to build our own success. Yes, it’s unfair that some people are filthy rich and could build a swimming pool of their money and swim laps in it, but at the same time, they DID something to get there. It wasn’t just handed to them. And if it was, at least their parents had done something to get there. It was all hard work, no matter what way you look at it. Why should the rich be handicapped for persevering to get there? Instead of punishing the rich, find ways to help the poor. Instead of whining about how our country is in so much poverty, DO something about it. Help the poor. Taking away things people already have is not going to achieve anything. This is why I’m voting for Obama. It will be a madhouse if Clinton gets elected, she’s going to ruin us. Notice I haven’t said anything about Mccain … … ready? waaaait for it…. Yup. That’s what I have to say about him. Nothing. I don’t want him in office, he’s too damn old. And for all of you who don’t want Obama to be president just because he’s black, grow up. He can do a better job than anybody we’ve had in office and anybody else running. Don’t let color be an issue, that’s for the narrow minded and judgmental.

So another thing I heard about are Blackwater troops? I haven’t done much research into it, and I only heard about it briefly, but I understand that Blackwater is a private organization that sends troops to Iraq to complete missions aside from the federal governments key points. They are a little more ruthless than the american troops and don’t necessarily follow the US guidelines. What I don’t understand is that yes, they came over here, they bombed us, we suffered, people died… they’re terrorists. But terrorists are not only confined to Iraq. We are terrorists as well. No, I’m not anti-america or any of that, don’t take this post the wrong way. My professor was talking about this a few weeks ago and it really does make you think. A terrorist by definition is this-
