At times, more often than not, scrolling through the news of a country the size America has to print and air on a daily basis, I feel a great tedium, a general lack, and an overall inability towards everything, to be specific. I think a lot of people have an intuitive feeling that either something good is gone or that something bad is coming. It is difficult, though, to articulate what exactly burdens each and every man and woman in this country when our leader is such a seasonal conformist to political weather. If it’s hot then find some shade; if it’s cold then light a fire. It’s not so simple, as November 2 has made abundantly clear.
I chose to not even look at the news or to read articles today because they are as informative and productive as staring at the hour and minute hand on a clock; you will never see either move, yet time passes far faster than we can even comprehend.
We all naturally, and with every right, focus on our own lives; our spouse’s needs; our children’s needs---but an immense obligation rests upon the shoulders of everyone, regardless of circumstance, prosperity or disparity, to keep this country the amazing, fortuitous, opportune, free, benevolent, unified, fair, just, democracy that it was meant to be.
For Barack Obama there is no compass to sense his direction. If November 2 had favored his agenda then he would be implementing incomprehensible “Change” to this country, which I and like-minded others would abhor as unconstitutional. But, because November 2 was such a victory, he is now, finally, acting like a president who is actually making some effort, if only little, to make decisions that actually make sense.
With that being said, by the time November 6, 2012 arrives and we hopefully elect a new president, I would like to implore you to remember two years before, which would be right now, that this president not only intended to turn your interpretation of America upside-down but, when confronted with the reality of American voters on November 2, recanted on what he believed in so passionately and conformed to what would get him re-elected.
What is worse? The leader of the most prosperous nation in the world attempting to destroy prosperity or a leader who halfway through, wreaking as much destruction as he could muster, all of a sudden decides that maybe the American people were right and that maybe he sort of does not deserve to be president because he has no experience worth mentioning besides being a Senator briefly and a Community Planner.
What I fear most, and I think you may agree, is the simple fact that he got elected to begin with, among such a populous that vehemently disagrees with his actions. If nothing else, his achievement of actually becoming President of the United States of America reflects a sleepy side to all of us that needs to wake up.
1,829.3 miles to go.
