Does anyone really want to be the president anymore? I generally stay away from the political discussions, but I couldn't think of any thing else to rant about today. Unless you've been living in a cave over the past week I'm sure you've heard complaints and outrage over the president speaking to the nation's school kids. Many people see it as a way for Obama to brainwash our kids into socialism. From reading his speech it just looks like he wants kids to work hard and stay in school. People have compared Obama to Hitler because of his health care plan. I mean Hitler, who killed 8 million Jews.
When did all of this start, and will it ever end? I don't care if you're democrat, republican, or none of the above, you have to admit our government is messed up. Do they ever do anything besides yell at each other anymore? I'm convinced that if one side discovered the cure for cancer, the other side would find a way to shoot it down. No one works for the common good anymore, you're either for us or against us. I'm convinced that it's become impossible for an honest man to succeed in politics.
20 years ago, I would've been excited about hearing the president in a classroom. In fact I'm pretty sure the original George Bush did speak to kids in 1991. Not that I remember it now. Apparently, he's not a very good brainwasher. Hold on a second, his son did manage to get elected, now we know how. But seriously, the media has turned politics into one loud yelling match. The louder they yell, the more it sells. We need to stop buying it. That's the only way we're ever going to see things truly change.

It's ironic that in the whole discussion you could have replaced the word politics with church, and the thought would still be true. Until people see change, and not just hear about it will they be belivers in movements...weither contemporary vs. traditional, postmodern vs modernity, or social reform compared to the status quo.
