Presidents
Granted I don’t do much with politics except with parts that concern me (such as the environment), but there are times when I get wrapped up in political discussion or something.
Throughout many of the discussions, President Clinton had been brought up, about how it would be nice to have him back as a president. And I have to agree he wasn’t bad in my opinion.
And tonight, my father and I were talking about JFK and how good of a President he was and how it would be nice to have him as our president now to straighten out this god forsaken mess that Bush has put us in.
And it just seems that in every conversation I’ve had, the presidents that were accused of ‘non-christian’ values. Clinton and Monica, Clinton and Marijuanna, JFK and Marilyn. And though I don’t agree with what Clinton did as a person (his infidelity), why does that have any affect on his presidency? These past presidents had flaws just like everyone else, and didn’t try to act all holy and mighty like Bush.
I don’t care that about the whole “well they represent our country to the world” bit. Of course they do, and America is far from perfect, so why try to act like it is? Maybe we’d gain more respect if we didn’t always act like we were always right and better than everyone else, we wouldn’t be seen as we are. It’s my opinion that we should have some -real- people representing our country, not fake, overwhelming, dumbasses.
Just something I’ve thought about.
