Politics, schmolotics.

I was too young in the Nixon through the Reagan years to care or vote, and then came George Bush Sr. Need I say more? And don’t even get me started on Clinton. I found it very hard to respect a guy that not only was married at the time it happened, but couldn’t find the gumption to keep his pants fastened while he held the most important job in the country. Four years Bill, that’s all we asked for. Run our country and leave the interns alone.
Then, as if it couldn’t get worse, in came Bush Junior who served for two terms. I’m sorry, but after the mess he made of everything the first four years, when my fellow Americans voted him back in a second time, I tore up my voter card.
Most of his two terms were spent in a war in a country we weren’t welcome in, chasing after a guy that wasn’t Osama Bin Laden. Imagine our surprise after 9/11 when instead of looking for the guy responsible, we were told they were going after Saddam Hussein. Huh? And no one said anything. And we’re still there!
Then after finally realizing what a tool Bush was, the American people stood up and said, “We want change! Let’s do something different!” So we voted in Barack Obama. Over half the American people cast their vote for this man; the highest voter turnout in over forty years, I might add, and in came our wind of change.
And a week later – give or take a few – it started. What’s Obama been doing since he got into office? I thought he said he was going to do this and that, blah, blah, blah. I saw the same thing happen when K-Rudd got the shaft. All I heard before that happened were Kevin Rudd jokes and about what a moron everyone thought he was. Then he got the boot and everyone said, “Whoa, wait a minute, that’s not right! Poor, Kevin.”
So, I’ve learned over time that when it comes to politics, opinion changes quicker than campaign promises. And I’m staying out of it.
