Apparently I have a chronic issue remembering the password for this account... lame.
So, Nobama won the election today. I'm bummed, because he's disappointed me a lot. At first, I was all about him. His speeches and thoughts were brilliant and inspiring, he spoke for change and reform, and excited all of the optimism in me.
Aaand then-
He lies. He hides. His charm turns smarmy, and his calm becomes oddly robotic. He can't decide who his (powerful & influential) friends are, and falls victim to very convenient amnesia.
I can't stand people who don't take responsibility for their words and actions.
Needless to say, I'm worried. Obama is even making me (with my socialistic leanings) uncomfortable. I believe in social responsibility and personal giving in a capitalistic society. I do not believe that the government should take my hard-earned money and give it to everyone else. I believe that I should take my hard earned money and give to those less fortunate. I believe that it is the church's job to care for the widow and the orphan, not my personal job to support the lazy.
I believe that the government should leave me alone, and have far less say in my daily life.
I'm pretty sure Obama is going to do the opposite of that. Is he what this country needs? We'll see.
I'm waiting to be impressed.
I'm a weird libertarian, but is anyone else with me here?
