President, Change and Faith


Change, Change, Change, Change, Change, Change it is all I seem to hear from everyone. I think that I am about all changed out. Thank you Barrack for bringing this word to all of us.

The word change is becoming more and more of a buzz word each and every single day that the political race goes on. The last debate that I put myself through all I heard was the word change. Well let me tell you that my faith in politicians tends to go down with all of this talk. Talk is cheap, and a lot of the people in the political world seem to be full of this talking business. People forget that our govt is set up in such a way to prevent one person from doing HUGE changes. It takes many people to get something done. People can get in the way of it, and people can help it. Sure the president has some more power to do things on his or her own, but in reality to enact a lot of the changes that they are talking about they are not really going to be able to do it on their own. I am ok with this and I understand this, however, many people refuse to look at this little detail.

I want to hear about their ability to be able to motivate people to want to change. Just saying “I am going to bring change” does not cut it for me. I want a candidate that has gotten stuff done and not on their own, but through the use of the people around them. The President is going to need to be able to do this, and do it well to be able to get the really important things accomplished in 4 years.

I really don’t want to bash or buildup a particular candidate this entry, but merely state what I think in regards to something that I feel a candidate should do. There is one more things that I have touched on before that it very important to me in the next president. I want a president that gets down on their knees. I want a President that recognizes there is a higher power out there, and that he or she does not have all of the answers to everything. I don’t care what the religion is, but I want one that believes in God. Whether it is Christian or Jew or any other religion that recognizes the need for divine help on certain issues it is good with me.

The President is going to make some very important choices, and some of them will cost people’s lives. At some point the president is going to have to pick from really crappy choices. They are going to have to do the right thing, and at times that is not the popular choice. I want a person that I know has thought about everything, and that knows that there is someone out there that has all the answers and that is there to help out with tough choices, and asks for this help

This is not a role that a faithless person should have.

Is it really a job that a person can do alone? Is it really possible for one person to enact big change? These are just a couple questions that I like to think about from time to time.

Just Answer the Question!! - Part 2


I thought for sure that I would not have more to write about in the last 10 min of the debate. I was wrong.

The last question that was asked was, out of all your past debates what is one thing that you would like to take back? Well Thank you Hillary and Obama for not answering the question. They decided that they did not want to answer the question. They decided that they would rather talk about how much better they are than the Republicans.



Thank you for yet again proving my point. Politicians suck and answering questions.
