Support the President - That's what I'll be doing after the election.
I'm chagrined about the trend in thinking that holds that it is more important to take all opportunities to express dissapointment over one's personal and often unrealistic expectations than it is to voice support for the Commander in Chief, our President. I don't see the nobility of that high horse through the self-serving exercise in ego that it often appears to be.
I've been thinking that what is almost as crucial today as destroying terror and the reasons for it, protecting ourselves as a nation, and providing for the general prosperity is the need for a whole new generation of individuals to become educated to the fact that it matters very little who is in office - because the responsibilities are awesome and the real-world choices are few for any leader. American foriegn policy is American foriegn policy. Those who experienced both parties' tenure during the conduct of the Vietnam war can attest to this.
And so, In some perverse way, I am starting to think it would be a good education for people who think that GWB is the reason "the world hates us" and we are in such apparantly sad shape as his critics would have us believe (because of his policies) to have their candidate elected. This way they may gain some overarching understanding that their rhetoric does not indicate they have at the present.
As I stated, I will be supporting the President of the United States, no matter who that is, come November. It is more important to do exactly that than many people today seem to comprehend.
