And what would I want from Mr . Obama ? Simply stated , I would want him to uphold his promises -- I would want him to fulfill even a portion of the hope he used to garner the support of the American people those six long years ago . I would have him think first of the well being of humanity before thinking of his own comfort ... I would have him use his influence to enact agendas that support life instead of wealth , that support peace instead of war , that support healing instead of sickness , and that support education instead of ignorance .
This vision may not be perfect , and I certainly don ' t have all the answers , and yet it doesn ' t take a genius to see that your environment , your society , and indeed your values as a people have been crumbling for quite some time . And your politicians are a large part of the reason why ... that , and the blind control you the people have given them to do so .
In essence , Obama & the rest of your politicians ( regardless of their particular affiliations ) are not making the choices that will bring you positive change , and thus continuing to invest your energy & time in politicians , political parties & politics in general is nothing short of redonkulous ."
