As a registered Democrat, most people would assume that I voted for Barack Obama. Honestly, I'm not going to disclose who I did vote for, because it doesn't pertain to my issue with Obama. I was a Hillary supporter at first, because I liked Bill a lot. I had hopes that the Clinton admistration would be back. Keep in mind I was 7 years old when he took office so a lot of his policies didn't effect me, but they did effect my family. In my own utopian sort of mindset at times, I associate peoples' quality of life with those that run our goverment. I don't remember people complaining as much when Clinton was in office as they have with W.

In all honesty if trillons of dollars weren't spent in a war we have no business being in, maybe we wouldn't be in a recession?

Let me admit ignorance, and I use that term correctly as lack of knowlegdge, about our economy and all the cause and effects related to our current "rough times."

It's all quite disconcerting that I don't know if I'll have a job 6 months from now. Many of my friends have no job security. It's very scary and stressful. Will Obama save the day?

Don't get me wrong, I was excited when Obama was elected. His key word "Change" ran through my head with high hopes, HOWEVER, most people aren't ready for change. Most people I know complain about life no matter who is in office, who our congressman is, or who our mayor might be.

Some people are just plain miserable, and instead of taking personal responibility, they blame the govenment, yes I'm talking about Liberals! It bothers me, that my party affiliation is associated with whiny, lazy, hold my hand mommy liberals.

That's why I find myself in the middle, with my views a tad to the left. Let's see if Obama will be the next Kennedy. Would that excite anyone? hahaha.

Keep in mind that I'm 23 years old, and being young and a tad idealist counteracts my hardships that I've faced so young and no longer want to be naive. Enlighten me.
