I've been following elections for a long time, and never have I seen a candidate saddled with so many perceived problems. While every candidate is sure to run into their share of problems during a long campaign, much of these so called problems have to do with the 24hour news culture, where they have raised every issue as a potential problem for Obama. At some point one must ask the question of why? I appologize for the long list, but we all know that it's only a partial list.

There Are People


There are people who complain about the growing loss of jobs to China, yet they can often be found shopping for sales at WalMart.

There are people who mourn the loss of uniqueness and character to their hometowns, yet they can't resist the McDonalds and Starbucks that occupy every other corner.
There are people who are angry over the rising costs of gasoline, but they refuse to lower themselves to use public transportation.

There are people who are angered by the leadership's non-response to Global Warming, yet they can't be bothered to recycle or change their lightbulbs.

There are people who despise the growing power and influence of FOX Broadcasting, yet they never miss an episode of American Idol.

There are people who are outraged over the government eavesdropping, yet they own Verizon phones and have internet service provided by AT&T.

There are people who constanstly lament the deterioration of the country and blame every wrong on the politicians, but they can never find the time to get involved to make a difference.
