The school I went to, Georgetown, is the best of three universities in Washington, DC, and resultantly, every wannabe senator ends up going there if his grades are good. A politician is two-faced: on the one hand he appears friendly and kind to make himself presentable to the voters, and on the other hand he is brutal, manipulative, and ruthless, because this is what it takes to rise to power in either the Dems or the Reps, and that is what it takes to do the backstabbing, compromises, and strong-arming that is inherent in being a politician in the first place. A genuine, kind, well-meaning person CANNOT be an effective politician, because combining the two faces I am talking about is inherently fake and sociopathic. The President of any country can send thousands of men to die, (Bush,) and then sleep soundly at night. The better a politician is, the worse a human being he is. Jimmy Carter, widely known for being a wonderful person who has done tons for the community since retiring from the Presidency, is also seen as one of the shiittiest Presidents in US history. He was too nice, and the commies ran him over. He was replaced by Reagan, who basically had no soul, and Reagan was a WONDERFUL president, because he had the personality for it. Reagan also had no friends.
Bush was a $hitty president, as I have said repeatedly even in this thread. However, he enjoyed a better economy, and his worst buttfuuck into the American people were Medicare Part D and the Iraq War. Only 8 months into office, Obama is being fairly competitive with those two spending-wise, and he has at least 3.something more years to spend spend spend more.
You're right, I misread your bit on the education. Sorries about that.
I'd rather not judge all people on a few bad people.. even if you'd wanna use that as a shield for yourself... I suppose you can say I'm blissfully ignorant in being to hopeful.. I'm also well aware of presedential power and the things they hide from america (I watch CNN and Comedy Centra too =D...off topic... do you somewhat aggree that in todays media those seem to be the ONLY things you can have as legitimate sources for polotics because of the bias in other News Networks?).
As i said Obama isn't a god.. the only thing i expect from him is that he doesn't Fk up so bad that america thinks every other black person will be like him
