I want a President who....
I woke up this morning thinking about the Presidential race here in the United States. I have a candidate that I'm backing, but deep down I don't see any of the candidates as really moving our country in the right direction. Politicians all come onto the scene wanting to make changes and help people. I do believe that. But somewhere along the path they pick up speech writers and policy advisors and analysts and something happens. They decide to run a 'winnable' campaign. They tell us what the pollsters tell them we want to hear and then they get elected and end up making policy changes that will be good for their re-election. I want a President who can sit down at a town meeting and also address Congress and tell it like it really is. I want a President who will say the government is for it's citizens not for lobbyists. Someone who will make a stand and say that making sure no one in this country goes homeless and who will say that we don't need a $50,000
