My thoughts on today? Today is so blown out of proportion that it's not even funny. Obama has been put on such a high pedestal that even if he ends up being the greatest president in American history, he still will not be able to live up to the hype created by his campaign and all of the American sheeple.

Obama is not the Messiah. He is not a God. He is merely human. He is incredibly intelligent. He is a great orator. However, he is still a politician, and his policies are just as fallible as the next politician's. All of the hype that he has garnered will work in his favor for a while, but ultimately I believe that it will end up working against him because as I said above, he will not be able to live up to the hype.

Besides, I hate his politics. It's stupid to put so much faith in our federal government. It's not who we are as Americans. Our history has been about forging our way to success without the help from our government. I hate the complacency that big government politics supports. If we allow people to succeed, we must also allow them to fail. Life isn't fair or equal in its punishments or rewards, and it's damn sure not my or anyone else's responsibility to see to it that the government attempts to fix this. The government is here to protect its citizens from external threats, not from life in general. I don't want to be saved, and I don't want to be responsible for saving others. If I choose to save others, I want to do it on my own. I don't need to be forced by my government.

whoa.
