But seriously, I look at the list of presidents you vote in:
Inbred warmongering idiot
Sleezy sex fiend who may or may not have raped someone
Inbred warmongering idiot's dad
Old actor who fancied Thatcher
Et infinitum....If you look back at Rome, they had a run of great Ceasars who expanded their empire and made life good, then they had a run of 5 who were shit, starting with Nero that pretty much ended their reign as an Empire.
Kind of think The US has done the same thing, the people placed into power are just plain bad. None of the last 3 presidents or any of the 2 current candidates, would get a job as CEO of a top 50 corporation. The people running the most powerful country in the world, just frankly aren't the best people for the job.
Which brings me to why neither of the current candidates will change your predicament:
McCain, I actually think isn't a complete idiot, but COME ON he's 72 and loosing it. When Churchill won his second term at the same age he lasted like 18 months. It's a tough gig that he just won't be able to do. That and he's a wee bit angry for my liking. Ex-Military people should NEVER, NEVER EVER become leading politicians.
Obama is cool as fuck, good looking, smooth, but come on, no experience really. Not like running a bar or something. The only reason he is in that position is because he was the most eloquent in the democrat campaign, not because he was the best person for the job.
Which I think (in my small little mind) exemplifies why the USA is fucked, they don't vote in or even shortlist the best people for the job, they choose the person they like. Personality politics will ruin you, and what's worse it's coming to Europe.
We have career politicians everywhere. For fuck sake we have a 20 year old MP in the UK. Sarkozy thinks he's fucking personality who can sort the world out with a bit of charm. The Labour party in the the UK has 400 MPs of whom only 7 have ever had a manual job. SEVEN!!!
People who want to be politicians should never be allowed to be one, I kind of get the impression that the kids at school who wanted to be prefects have ended running the world.
