While on the road recently I have had the fortunate opportunity to meet a lot of different people each with their own values, opinions, morals, and the right to vote. Moi normally stays away from political debates and discussions about who did what and did nothing and who is responsible for this great recession.
I have sat quietly on the side lines listening to the slander, the ridiculous bashing of each candidate, bringing up bad judgment from 20-30 years ago when a candidate was 14, as an example. Or each candidate slinging mud at the other and pointing out what the other WILL not do. My question is: What will each of these people try to do for Moi? And for the rest of the American public.
The biggest question I have is: Why are Americans blaming the current President for the recession and the awful economy? Did he cause the recession? Did he ignore the country for years? What really has the current President done that is so bad? Kinda funny how so many people blame him for everything. People expect him to clean up the mess that someone else created, and to do it over night. As If!
Whether it is Obama or if it would have been McCain the blame is being misdirected. Moi does not blame the current President for the state the country is in. When in fact I have reason to be angry, depressed, frustrated and mad. But Moi knows that the person or persons that ignored us, ruined the economy, well let’s just say this…they are no longer in the house.
As perfect and wise as Moi is, I would never want to be President. Just imagine the stress, pressure and day to day battles that he has to fight. Imagine how you might feel knowing that the masses are disgusted with you for all the wrong reasons. And no matter what you try and do to fix the issues and the loss of jobs, the closing of businesses, foreclosures, healthcare(don’t even get me started on this) and falling so deep into debt and depression that all you can think about is ending it all. Can you imagine being the spokesperson for the people with all this overwhelming pressure?
Moi truly feels that the blame has got to end. That expecting on person to make miracles happen over night is not going to happen. It took 8 years to get to this place, it will take longer to rebuild our country. What we are feeling is the after effects of a disaster just like it is when a natural disaster occurs. We have to all work together to rebuild, start anew, breath new life, create new futures.
But nothing good can happen with all the negative slinging, bashing and conflict or misdirected blame. It is time America grew up! Moi is so glad that the elections are over, now I can watch my soaps without interruptions and won't have to turn on the boob tube only to hear all that mudd slinging crap! Oh wait, Elizabeth will still have her mouth flapping on The View!
People need to take a good long hard look into the mirror(almost as much as Moi does) and realize no one person is perfect.
