Our government is said to be one the best and most powerful in the world. We often say that we should feel lucky to live under a government such as this. Our government and our citizens need a sharp reality check. Lately, candidates for governing seats across the U.S. have become very imersed in the idea that to do a good job you must listen to the people that elected you and show that you care about ALL of the their opinions.
Wake up.
Caring or and addressing peoples' opinions is how you win the seat to govern, but it is not how you do good for our country. There is no possible way to please every person that the elected depended on to win their seat. The only way to do good for our country is to sometimes act as a trustee for our country on major issues to further along the process of making it a law. The biggest currently doing things like this is our dear President Obama.
Barack Obama may be the most well spoken president to speak to our nation in a while, even though Bush was a very well-spoken Spanish speaker, but speaking and listening will not get him anywhere for where he wants to take our nation in this idea of 'HOPE' that he created. 'HOPE' is an idea and is not something we can give to people along with a pink slip at their jobs. Obama needs to instill something greater in our country by actually achieving something. He has been more of talk and trying to please people which is nothing more than theatrics and could be replicated by Miss South Carolina.
What we need right now is action being taken. For example, the 'universal healthcare package' that is trying to be passed before the end of the this legislation is big for his party and presidency, but has been nothing but talk thus far into his young term. We need to care less about what people really 'care' about and do what we think is best for the country. I promise, very unpopular decisions in the past are now overlooked as normal, such as civil rights and women's rights.
I am not saying that I support the universal health care, because I don't. I am just saying that action needs to be taken fast and with full power in order to do good change for our country. We expect the leaders in the governing seats to lead, not to ask us how we feel. Make the decision for our betterment, and, if we don't like it, we will let you know by not re-electing you.
