Lately it seems as i have lost hope in all things politics and especially all things Obama. Today as i sat on another bus ride, cause my dumb ass wont learn to drive stick, i was talking to a friend of mine and was letting him know that while I love the uncertainty of politics I'm frustrated about the slow development of Mr. Obama's lack of progress.
Last week we saw him telling the American people that he would send another 70K men and women to fight in Afghanistan. He then gathered all democratic senators to a meeting were he talked about health care and never mentioned the public option. Then talked about a month or two ago about making life a better place for our LGBT brothers and sisters, yet hasn't done anything to get rid of 'don't ask, don't tell' or fight DOMA or even said the big scary word: MARARIGE.
Before i began on my rant, i was never for the war, would like the richest country in the world to have universal health care, and in favor of full equality for all people in this case, regardless of there sexual orientation. But since we don't live in a perfect world, the war is our everyday frustration, especially for those that have family and friends fighting abroad. I had to pay over 200 bucks to get new eyeglasses. And the people that i love dearly cant marry like Larry king cant stay away from an alamony payment.
So this is the world we live in, and i'd like to ask these question to president obama: Why in the richest country in the world can't you provide universal health care for all? Why is it so hard to end a war that should never occured in the first place? Will this county's secon class citizens ever not feel like second class citizens?
Do I seem like an idealistic idiot or can someone give this atheist an AMEN. Lets hope in a year I can eat my words. And if some one has a wine selection let me know as well.
