On my mind as always: politics.

So I was going to try to fit this somehow into my facebook page, but too many things to say in the new 'whats on your mind' box.

ANYWAYS, I just have to say a few things about Obama and those who are constantly criticizing him in the media. I was watching hardball and Pat Buchanan was on there. Immediately I thought, hmm I'm sure I wont agree with anything he has to say, and it proved true. He was basically criticizing Obama for being 'too familiar' with the American people (ie- going on Jay Leno, town hall meetings, jacket off in the oval office (wtf!), etc.). To this I must say What the F*** is wrong with being familiar to the American people??? Isn't that what they are supposed to be- accountable to the people who voted the person into office?! Would it be better if the president hid in the White House and never came out and made decisions based on 'groupthink' or illegal monitoring of media/ opposition groups as past presidents have done? (and subsequently almost gotten impeached for I may add). I personally applaud Pres. Obama's going on the Jay Leno show- I think it was great. I personally become a bigger Obama supporter by the day. Though I may not agree completely with the tackling of the economic crisis- Obama is spot on with foreign policy and domestic (sans economic) issues- for example: attempting to make amends with Iran, normalizing relations w Cuba etc.

Bring on the critics, Obama has already begun to prove his actions speak louder than your words.

I totally agree and I loved watching him on Jay Leno the other night. He just seems so personable and friendly.
