As we begin our march toward both the Republican and Democratic (and Libertarian, haha) National Conventions to lead to the presidential debates and eventually elect a new president for the next four years, let us remember that whatever our political belief systems are, the next president, whether it be Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, or in my dreams Wayne Root, your life is not going to dramatically be better or dramatically be worse because whoever it ends up being.
You, and only you, are responsible for making your life better. Don't sit around saying, "Well gees, you know, my income would be higher, gas prices would be lower, that girl/guy I like would finally be interested in me if [my preferred candidate] was president. Everything would just be great!" WRONG!! If you really want to, you can do things to make your life great now. Just get off your lazy butt and do it.
Want gas prices to go down? Get a hybrid, a flex fuel, or a diesel and use bio-diesel, and VOILA! The gas price pinch will diminish.
Want more money? Apply for a job that you're qualified for and that pays better than the one you're currently in. OR, start up your own business. Or go back to school for a degree. What a novel idea! Can't afford school you say? Well you know there is this thing called state-funded public colleges that are cheap, and then if you work a job that pays tuition benefits, you're in like Zen. Can't start up a business? Sure you can! What do you like? What are you passionate about? Start it small and gradually build it.
Just remember, presidents don't sit behind a desk pulling levers and pushing buttons all day to make the right things happen at the right times. The president's job is to set policy on taxes, spending, military, and other issues. Not making your life great.
