I’m a Pundit

So Obama is the new president of the USA, I say this with the tone of voice that most English people use when this is brought up, ie. Couldn’t care less.

But of course in America it is not only a big thing but the BIGGEST thing. 

So who thinks what about the new choice of president?

The media thinks its great, a Black president, woohoo.  They fail to pay much attention to the fact that this black president could be confused for a white person with a heavy tan.  

The Upper class think it’s great, Obama is a true man of the corporation, making the rich richer.

The Middle classes think it’s great, he promises to bring the troops home!  No more war and promises of a more stable economy brought on by the savings this will incur 

The lower classes hate the bastard, god damn son of a bitch making us seem like pussies, I’m down with the war.  Lets lynch that black bastard.

All in all though Obama is the choice I would have made, McCain is undoubtedly useless, just as bush was before him.  To be honest though, neither party is ideal.  

Both parties have been around long enough to become corrupted and inefficient.  Neither of them have any unique ideas or selling points to really bring America back on track and nothing they say really holds any value.

America has the two term policy, no one may be president for more than 2 terms.  This ensures no one president can hold a corrupt power over the United States.  There is however no protection from those just a tad further down the ladder.

Why not institute the 2 term policy for al the managerial and top level positions of a party, hell why not have it just for the party.  By doing this you are ensuring that fresh people, fresh ideas and fresh ideals are brought into the United States.  Not only that but it removes the possibility of corruption, complacency and idiotic managers who rise to power just by being there a long time.

I don’t think this is just a good idea for the United States, but also for England.  It is after all a True democracy.

In the recent debating arena between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have both glossed over this issue.  They have both, kind of, voiced support for abortion, but avoided the issue of when a life really begins.  Clinton has said that she believes in the ‘potential’ for life begins at conception, while Obama states that he cannot even presume to know the answer to that question.

I have to admit I prefer Obamas answer, it seems to be much more honest than most.

Personally I agree with abortion, I also think that the life really does begin at conception.  After all it is at that point where the life begins to exist, if you kill off that embryo  it cancels out the life ahead of it.

But I also believe that if the parents are not ready for a child it would be a mistake to bring it into the world,  something that is causing a lot of problems in todays society.
