The President, Politics, and Pointlessness

 





     Okay so, recently I got a request from an anonymous follower asking if I would do a blog post on Obama and my opinion about the Republican candidates. So, here it is!

When Obama was elected President of the United States, I was hopeful. I remember I stayed up late into the night watching the TV, and wishing. Just like so many other Americans, I really thought that everything might change. That the wars would end, that we would start to repair the environment, that our President would actually try to change the way other countries see us: Ruthless, greedy, and violent. But over time, I have been utterly disappointed. I feel lied to. Obama spoke of change, he promised so many hopeful actions, but what has he done? We are currently at war AGAIN. There is no change! In fact, when the people begin to speak out, like Occupy Wall Street, he does NOTHING. He sits and watches the people who speak out for change be beaten down and pepper sprayed.
 
  Of course, it's not all his fault, for a puppet can not be held responsible for his actions.  This leads me to my next thought, I believe (like many people) that everything the President does, is by the orders of the Government, the 1%, the Elite, the Illuminati, whatever you may call it. The seemingly dark cloud of greed that hangs over this Earth.  So, you do have to ask yourself, is it even worth it to get angry at the President?
     The same thing goes for all politics. I personally try not to get all caught up in debates between candidates because in my mind it's pointless. It's pointless and even distracting. Politics brings out the competitive sides of people, and therefore sucks all of their attention away from bigger matters in the world.  So, I am not a Democrat, nor a Republican. And when I am 18, I will not vote, unless, there is EQUALITY written on the ballot.

    So, my advice to you this year, would be to vote for what you believe in. On the ballot or not. What's something that you feel very strongly about? Something that you would change for the better of humanity? How about instead of listening to the endless back and forth of politics, start taking action yourself. I believe there is hope, just not in politics or the President. There is hope in the people, and their will to change. Instead of putting faith into a useless figure, infuse yourself with hope for the people, for the Earth.
