Barack Obama. Hilary Clinton. John McCain. Would we want any of these people playing the role of President in the next big action movie? Would we count on these three people to give the most away in charity every year, more than any other politician in the country? These are just a few questions we should ask ourselves before settling with the stale and generic campaigns of our current Presidential candidates.
This blog is my outlet to the readers (which is right now myself, my mom, and maybe my grandma is she has time) expressing my views on how to re-shape the political spectrum and run away with an election simply by turning over the hour glass and looking at it in a different perpective.
The pollsters make millions and millions of dollars taking the safe route and giving their candidates tried and true soundbites and images to help the voters feel a sense of familiarity. What they forget is that each year that passes, the memory of Ike and JFK and the Gipper fade from our conciousness and are replaced by new situations and a new environment. If politicians dont dare to break away from this mold soon, we could have Presidential Campaigns based largely on Gay Marriage and Abortion, when the majority of the country feels indifferent to both and would much prefer someone recognize a drowsy economy or the nearing of the end for Social Security.
Of course, not all of this will revolve around national matters. I am trying to launch the consultant aspect of this at the same time as the blog and will go over my take on local, social, and economic matters that affect people but are largely ignored by the mainstream candidates.
The problem with politics today is not that its lost significance, just that it stresse the insignificant and forgets the trends emerging today.
