Most of us are really never too sure about the decisions we make. What car to buy; whether to start having kids; what to eat for dinner; where to go on our next vacation, etc. We just been through a major Election for the President of the United States. This is a decision of switching power from one belief system to another belief system, hence Democrates vs. Republicans. The question remains, did we select the right belief system? Did we put the right person to carry us through the next four years? Did we truly thought it through when we went to the poll?
I think politics is POLITICS. I believed the presidental candidates are the best salesmen in the world, feeding us lies or just saying right things to make us feel good. For many years, we listened to the salesman pitch, "I will do A, B, C, and D"; but after the elections, it's already too late. I will be happy if the President-Elect kept at least one promise; I think that's an accomplishment.
I also believed this is mostly our faults. We put the person in charge based on our short-sighted needs and not looking at the long term affect. As we elected Bush, so we also elected Obama. I strongly believed we will be in the position as the Bush days. You heard everyone screaming "not another four years"; well, I think people will be surprised in the next four years.
