I’m not rallying behind a man just because he wants “change.” Every President wants change. Every President wants their own legacy.

This notion of him being a great organizer is crazy. Have you seen statistics on crime, education, unemployment, and taxes in south-side Chicago? Do you want the rest of the US to be like south-side Chicago? It’s statistically worse than Iraq. Facts are more powerful than feelings.

What’s wrong with political ideology? It’s what forms their platforms, beliefs, and decision making. You NEED to look at somebody’s ideology when voting. DO you want someone who compares the US to Nazi Germany? DO you want someone who says our troops are air-raiding villages and killing civilians to lead our armed forces? Would you want him to be your Commander In Chief if he said that about your branch of the military?

This whole idea of voting with your “feelings” instead of using common sense is going to be disastrous… don’t doubt that for a second.

It’s not about change…it’s about right or wrong. This change was dead wrong.

These are all legitimate questions. Another thing. The people that you’ve surrounded yourself with throughout your life says a lot about you, your beliefs,  and what decisions you’ll plan on making in the future.  That was totally ignored in the decision making process by voters….voters who are new to the election process and politics as a whole. People were uninformed, manipulated, and duped by empty rhetoric. Like I said in my last blog…this has happened before….it’s sickening that people ignore history.

Sal,how stupid could you be?With the economy in the state it is in, and the canidate that Mccain ran with what are you talking about. Think of it this way Mccain wins and I’m no republican but had know problems with Mccain. Mccain gets in office something happens and he no longer can be president your ready for Palin. You are a dumb a!!.You clearly just don’t like the fact that a african american is in office as though things could get worse than the way Bush left them be the hell quiet.

Rob,

Thank you so much for your perspective. You have emphasized the feelings of so many Americans and you certainly diagnosed the root of the problem: greed. We need to begin restructuring from the ground up…and that necessitates a “we” mentality; Americans must individually and collaboratively understand their role in the process.

Amy
