Well elections are over and Obama has won. For the most part people where happy and full of YAYs. There where some people that where like “i dint vote for em but its cool that he won.” There were some strong opinions on why he won and stuff many if not all true. For one, hes black and popular. Many people saw it as one of those things where its like following the crowd. I got many calls yesterday about him wining and people all going nuts (happy nuts) about him winning. My reaction was simple “yea I know that already.” The way I saw it was simple hes going to win, with out a dough. I was not remotely surprised.
Of all the reasons for why people picked Obama the most shallow of the reasons would have to be “because hes black.” Now at first I was thinking “a black guy no way” but then it hit me. If hes the first black president of the US then that would mean that hes going to be a bit more enthusiastic about doing good and represent the black population. I had the same opinion about Clinton, except that her reason for doing good was to make sure she made all women look good. I do admit that i was being a bit unfair in my decision and thinking that it’s enough of the military guys or the military wanabe guys.
In many ways this could not have been both the perfect and worst time to be president. Its truly the best time because anything that you do to improve the system will be enough. But its also the worst time because of just that. There is so much on the plate that it will be a real challenge to change anything. I both fell sorry for the guy but at the same time i am saying “Well we got you into office, so dont fuck it up. Or we will fuck you up.” Yes i know thats messed up to say but its true. The position of president is not a simple one. If anything wrong happens it is always the presidents fault.
Now this is something that i have asked many people and no one agrees with me. But docent this election look like Abraham Lincoln’s election? Think about it the election was fierce from start to end. Huge new numbers in people voting. In the middle of a national catastrophe. To top it off, one man was left to peace it all together. One man. True that Lincoln accomplished this to the largest extent that he could but he gave his life for it (more like taken but you get what I mean). I am not saying that the same will happen to Obama. Not at all. Its just that the similarities are there. An attempt on his life as tried already or something, don’t know if it was a threat or actual attempt. I don’t really follow everything.
Ok ok, enough with that. How about some of the questions on the ballots? I liked them this year they were funny, sad and annoying. Question one was simple get rid of state tax. Thats some stupid shit (my opinion). The number of things that state tax pays for is unbelievable. Why would i want to get ride of the funding for such a wonderful resource. Yea true its corrupted hear and there. Lacking in a few places. But still it takes care of a tone of stuff. From maintaining the city to keeping your kids in school.
The second question was about making marijuana less of an offense. This means that rather than just put your ass in jail for having any amount off grass on you they will fine you (give you a citation also known as a ticket) of some 100 dollars or something. I like this plan only because this means that there will be more state revenue. Rather then spend that cash in sending people to jail. I would be happy if just half of that cash actually went to helping people like in school and housing.
The third question was about dog racing and to make it unlawful. I don’t really care about this one but yea it is messed up that dogs are being mistreated. I am not nor have even been involved in this sort of thing.
Any way I dint vote yes or no on any one of them because my dumb ass forgot about them and dint look in the back of the valet. The only question i would actually have cared about was number one. I am blad that it dint get passed. Operantly every one was on the same page.
Well any way Obama won.
