Presidential Apathy

I no longer care who is the next president is. Okay maybe that is a bit harsh, I certainly don’t want it to be a lot of people. What I have decided I care about is the democrats taking a majority in the house and sixty seven seats in the Senate. I don’t really have warm cuddly feelings towards the democrats, they are just as prone to ass fuck me without giving me a reach around as the republicans are.

Who ever the next president is going to be faced with an insurmountable economic problem, the war is Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, the legacy of 9/11 and a bunch of angry poor people. The president is who we are all going to blame and then we will get a different one in four years. They are the person we put our hopes into and since we are such a fickle fucking lot, we will turn on them just as quickly as we cheer for them. They are also the person who can do squat without the approval of the house and senate.

That being said I am going to be a lot better off with the party not so inclined to listen to big business and filthy rich. I am going to be a lot better off with the democrats controlling two thirds plus of the senate when it comes to nominations. I am going to be a lot better off when it comes to pandering to us poor people.

I have no hope that we will get universal healthcare or even something all of us can afford. I have no hope of the price of gas ever coming down. I have no hope of getting much further ahead than I am now because of anything they have done. I do have hope that a democratic controlled house and senate, with democrats in charge of Ohio will mean surviving, even if I can’t turn things around myself.

So before you go casting your ballot this November ask yourself where you want to be in four years financially. Aim for the best, but prepare for the worst, because we have a very bumpy ride ahead of us.
