Why we hate Bush, and love Obama

Of course, the assumptions above are GENERAL. However, they apply to, I would say, close to 70% of the American population.

Now, on to the real message....

It is true that the President of the United States is debatably the most powerful person in not only the nation, but the world. However, that does not mean that we either lose hope for a better tomorrow, or gain a massive sense of relief for the problems that affect this aching world just because of who is sitting in the oval office.
Yes, Presidents have all been quite different. Yet the differences have not been substantial enough to either make or break the country's economy, social status, and things in like manner. The President, or the govn't for that matter, is not the stronger group in the society in which we live in today. America did not pull out of Vietnam because of how many troops it was losing, or how "unwinnable" the war seemed. The truth is that the youth was able to come together and raise a protest against the war in number never before seen in America, or the world. The youth made Vietnam a war with no real purpose, because they simply did not support the government's actions.

Basically people. You may have your rants against Bush, or your supportive rhetoric for Obama, yet do not forget that either way, it continues to be our duty to run politics and life around us. Presidents can be either good or bad, but that does not mean we put all our hope into them or lose all our hope in the government, in OUR GOVERNMENT. Too often, that is the case.
