Economics

Due to my sudden change of character, I haven't really gotten the chance to properly vent my thoughts for a little while. One of the many thoughts that has been bouncing around in my head for a while is that this country is going down the tubes. OK, so you are now thinking that I am crazy for just now realizing that. Yes, I am fully aware that we were headed in the wrong direction a long time ago. So, now that we have gotten that conclusion out of the way, what are we, as a country going to do about the issue. In my opinion, it would be a good idea to stop trashing our president. The US is a representative democracy, and the majority of the country expressed their vote as Barack Obama for president. You may not have a person liking of him, and thats perfectly acceptable. However, it is not acceptable to go around hating every decision that he makes. This country will eventually come out of its recession, so lets support our leader and have some faith. (Ahh, I know, I used the cursed word faith) I'm not really all that into politics. Quite frankly I find the political system annoying. But its even more annoying to hear trash talk every time you turn around.  And why is it that the citizens hate Obama so much? I believe it has to do with us being set in our old ways. Now, thats a very broad statement that can be used many ways. We (meaning caucasions) have a racial prejuduce issue that we must deal with. I myself have the problem of looking down upon african americans. We need to look at the broad picture here: we are going to get no where in life if we judge everyone by their skin color, as too many opportunities will pass you by. Judge people individually, not by what they look like as a group. Another issue with the main statement deals with the shifting of political parties. I know that Republicans may have a hard time transitioning to a different setting. And therefore they must put forth their best effort to make ammends with the fact that our president is a Democrat. The only other advice I have for one if they can't face the facts: get out of the country. Lastly, I would like to put forth my own opinion about Mr. Obama. I am willing to give him a chance. He seems like a nice guy who can keep a good grip on things. What he has done so far (the bills having been passed) seems liek a stride in the right direction to me. Mr. Bush didn't really impress me with his time in office and I think that a few things definately need to be turned around. I would also like to know your opinions on the current economic situation, as you may feel free to leave a comment.
