A collection of my pointless existence.
Political Philosophy
I feel kinda philosophical right now and I don't know why.

I don't know what my political orientation is. I have no idea what the difference is between liberal and conservative. From what I gather republicans are supposed to be kinda like penny pinchers when it comes to government spending, but want to give more power to the wealthy. Democrats on the other hand care about average joe, but want to spend spend spend. I think that the wealthy are rich and powerful enough. The average joe needs more power and money. We need to go easy on the government spending though. Jobs are difficult to come by and the economy is crumbling. Obama has his work cut out for him.

I really don't like how so many people are treating him like Jesus come back to earth. Obama promised this that and the other to get into office just like any other president. The only difference between Obama and any other president is his skin color right now.

Now FDR promised big change and he delivered. Obama has promised big change, but hasn't. He just started his new job and seems to be working towards delivering, but nothing big has been done yet. It's only been 3 days so I'm not expecting anything yet. He has 4 years to prove himself. I prefer to wait on treating Obama like a saint until after the 4 years.

To be honest I don't know if I'm really for his reform policies. His policies sound like they will be expensive and our debt is pretty high as it is. I think he should work on stabilizing our economy first then work on the reforms.

I'm not sure how to go about doing it. That's why I'm not a good leader.
