I don't really have anything important to say today. I'm just generally upset that the world isn't as I'd like it to be. And Obama looks like a convenient whipping boy.
Unemployment is too high. And that's Obama's fault. Even though he immediately called for a stimulus package to be passed through Congress.
The banking system collapsed before Obama got into office, but that's still Obama's fault because ... well, I don't know why but I heard that Obama's wrecking the economy.
Obama pulled out of Iraq and kept his promise to focus on Afghanistan and the region where Osama Bin Laden is supposed to be hiding out. But it's Obama's fault that the Karzai administration sucks, and that they tried to steal the election. That's Obama's fault too, because Obama is responsible for election integrity in Afghanistan. But at the same time, Obama needs to stop acting like an imperialist in Afghanistan.
The wars should end. But you better not allow any terrorists to attack our country. And Obama needs to be tough, but he also needs to do better diplomacy, and he also needs to bring about world peace. But he needs to stop acting like a Messiah figure.
Also, I think the economy is unfair. And I think Obama should do something about the lobbyists. Oh wait, he already has. But he should tell Congress to do something about the lobbyists.
And Congress needs to stop delaying progress and get stuff done. Harry Reid is a weak leader because he can't tell the opposition to stop opposing him and actually get them to listen. And also, Harry Reid needs to change all the rules so that a simple majority wins. But we also should protect minority groups like members of the LGBT community who want to get married.
And Obama needs to get rid of Tim Geithner but he also needs to stop those private equity firms from using credit default swaps. And basically, he needs to just take over but he needs to do it in a way that makes it look like he's asking nicely, because no one likes a bully.
And also, I want a pony.
Gosh, I wish Hillary Clinton was President. Or Dennis Kucinich.
Or Mike Gravel. That guy is cool.
