Incorrect, Politically

On Monday, November 3rd 2008, I cast my vote for the next President of the United States. The polls were at a little V.F.W. type place in Lorain and I thought I would be slick and go Monday to avoid the long lines of Tuesday morning, Sounds good. I stood in line for three hours in the rain and cold amongst hundreds and hundreds of voters with the same idea. It was interesting to hear everyone talking and see some of the things they were wearing mostly in support of Obama.



I finally got to my little semi-private voting booth, and it was on. I was excited to vote for Barack Obama, as like most, I was excited for change. That was the easy decision, President. The rest was kind of a blur and I have no recollection of the other 15 or so issues and candidates that I voted on and I should have just stopped after the Presidential because the rest I really didn't care about.

I am politically retarded. I hate all things politics. I have no idea where anyone stands or what they're about, I just knew I wanted something different for at least the next four years and I'm sure if nothing else, the first black president would provide that. How bad can he do? the country was already upside down economy wise, we're involved in a couple of wars that no one, especially the countries we're trying to help are appreciative of and health care needs to be looked at.

It amazes me how people feel so strongly about candidates and issues but most of them when asked won't say who they're voting for. That's totally fine with me because as I stated, I know less than nothing about politics. I hate political shows, I hate political comedians, I hate comedic political shows, I hate politics. I've never asked anyone who they were voting for because frankly, I don't give a shit. I'm sure that in some way that makes me un-American or stupid, but would John McCain and Tina Fey really have made that much of a difference? I mean, she is great for some Saturday Night Live skits and her daughter thats a mother is kind of a train wreck, but besides that where would we be better or worse?

My reason for writing this came about in that I get a little tired of hearing people(my own wife included) bitching about things like: Obama makes a pitch for LeBron James to go to the Chicago Bulls, Obama picked Kansas to win the NCAA basketball March Madness tournament, the Obamas takes too many vacations, he does too many tv interviews.... Who gives a shit! he is the President of the United States and he is a HUMAN MALE! The pressure that he must face on an hourly basis is unfathomable. I worry about keeping cheese out of a guests pasta so they dont have an uncomfortable two hour stretch of pissing out of their anus and he has the fate of millions upon millions of people in his hands and weighing on his heart.

He's relatable even to me who like I think I've made my point don't give two shits about this type of thing, but I think it's cool he does more than just sit in the oval office and contemplate giving aid to the Congo to research the effect gorilla feces has on the mountain landscape or spending tax dollars trying to figure out why Greenland is named Greenland when it is totally covered with ice and rock and why Iceland is named Iceland when for parts of the year is actually quite pleasant to be there. Good for him. Take vacations, have sports opinions and be heard and seen by the people of our country through the most wonderous invention prior to Mountain Dew, velcro and Post-it notes, the television.

I will back him or whoever else is in the White House Democrat or Republican until we are denied the things that I think most of us Americans take for granted like all things written in the US Constitution, listening to whatever radio stations we want or if we desired, go to Las Vegas and legally pay a woman to have sex with us(I mean, I heard that happens)Until things like that go away, the Pres is golden and who cares if his daughters do the Soulja Boy or the Stanky Leg after they finish dinner and their homework.

Bottom line is, I am a political Simple Jack and go by the philosophy "we're going to be F-d either way, so just pick one" Hate me or call me ignorant or both. I'm over it already and am going to enjoy the fact that I can watch Jersey Shore and not be shot for it.
