Choosing a President

        Can someone please explain to me why are we still choosing our candidates only by what letter is in front of there name or what animal is on there bumper sticker. How about we start choosing responsible managers who have proven themselves.  When you choose your families physician do you decide on the fact that you would like to get a beer with that person or are you choosing because they have the best experience and educational background?  Does a Fortune 500 company hi their CEO because they want to go fishing with that person? When did the US government become American idol,  except instead of singing we are judging them on their fake sound bite trumped up speeches that are 90% bull crap. It has become a glorified popularity contest. Why is it that most politicians are lawyers,  I don’t have anything against lawyers but there trained to only say what they think we want to here. I have a crazy idea, how about we start voting for proven responsible managers from all fields. Instead of just rich people, we let people of all incomes have a chance to earn the job of president or senator or congress.  Why not let doctors, teachers, fireman, retired professors, engineers, scientists get a legitimate chance to have the job.  I am sorry but super rich people do not relate with the everyday American. Its time to start over, reinvent ourselves. People of all walks of life do it all the time.  People complain about wasted spending by the government, well how about the billions of dollars spent on these silly campaigns, watching grownups accuse each other like a bunch of preteens in Junior high school. Let’s get rid of rich billionaires making candidates sign contracts to do what they tell them in order to bankroll their candidacy. Is that really a free America, being run by a few instead of the majority. The tea party is always using the Constitution as their basis, well if they ever actually read the Constitution , they would know it says "for the people by the people". It does not say for the billionaire that made you sign a contract to give you money so you can get elected and do thy master’s bidding.  Its time we stop all the fake baloney. People are dying out there because a few are playing a power game. You can support any sport team you like and hate any opposing team but the United States is just one team that we are all on. Please start to vote for candidates that are qualified and have actual ideas that will help better all our lives.  Liberty and justice for all should actually mean something.

Cheney VS Palin

Former VP Dick Cheney said on an interview with ABC news that he didn’t think Sarah Palin was qualified to be vice president and that John McCain had made a mistake. You can like or not like Sarah Palin but this is nothing personal to her, we are just talking about if she was qualified to be a vice president and maybe even president.   His daughter Liz Cheney came out defending Sarah Palin saying she is more qualified than Pres. Obama and VP Joe Biden. Now bear with me for a moment, Sarah Palin just tweeted a picture from Chick-fil-A restaurant supporting it because it was just in the news because the president of Chick-fil-A came out against gay marriage.  Liz Cheney’s sister Mary Cheney who is gay and recently just got married thanks to lawmakers who support gay marriage like Pres. Obama and Joe Biden. Can someone please tell me what is wrong with this picture? Do these people really mean what they say or are they just sore losers because their candidate lost?  I highly doubt Liz Cheney hates her sister Mary. I’m not even going to bother getting into the comment of Sarah Palin is more qualified than Barack Obama and Joe Biden.  Barack Obama has a  degrees from Harvard law school and Columbia University. He was a state senator for Illinois for seven years as well as a United States Sen. for for years. Joe Biden has degrees from the University of Delaware as well as Syracuse University and has been a United States Sen. since 1973. Sarah Palin couldn’t even finish one term of Gov. in Alaska because it was marred with so much controversy. I would have more respect if people just said they don’t like Obama in general instead of saying something silly like Sarah Palin is more qualified than Obama and Biden.  I’m sure she’s more qualified to host a television show since her degree after six years in college is for journalism, but not to run a country.  You can do your own research and see what Sarah Palin’s background  in education and management is. Don’t take my word for it.  The position of the President of the United States needs to be well spoken and well educated because you are on an international stage and responsible for the lives of billions of people, and not just saying cool sound bites on Fox news.  I don’t know why people get all upset when someone says Sarah Palin isn’t smart, they say this about a lot of people in politics and it just gets laughs. But for some reason when it comes to Sarah Palin people get very defensive. I’m no Freud but what does that tell you, if it quacks like a duck!
