Presidents: Your hero?

So, I'm sitting here reading these pamphlets that I got from a newly found friend, who completely has the opposite views of myself. And I'm reading, reading... and the light clicks on. And I laugh. This that I'm reading is so true. Its so true that its hilarious!
We are headed for a depression. And part of it is put on George W. Bush's fault. But people need someone to blame, so they put it on the President. And now, everyone is so caught up in the election. And by golly, they should be! I encourage everyone who can to vote and use your right, and your privilege. But everybody is also thinking that just getting him out of the White House is going to change everything, the direction we are headed in, our debt will be paid, and we won't have insane taxes anymore. In the words of Gene Healy "if we want to restore the constitutional presidency, it's going to take a whole lot more than just replacing George W. Bush." Did you ever think about that? I myself think that Obama will make changes, but I know it won't happen suddenly, and it won't change some of the things that can't be undone.
Gene Healy also says, and this part is hilarious, people think that the President can solve they're daily problems. And I quote " If we need heroes in out lives, we shouldn't go looking for them among professional politics."
So the next time you think about the new president and all the good stuff he will do for us, remember. The President isn't the guy walking on the street, or the on who you walk by everyday that gives you a polite smile and makes your day. He is the guy who is the face of the American public. I myself have found myself thinking that the new President would somehow make life better. And to an extent he does. But when people take it too far, and think that the President will make all the wrongs right, and make all the rights better, thats when things get obsessive. Sleep on it.
