I know, I know. There he goes again, bitching about something political. All you have to do is read the title of this post to deduce that. Well, before I go on my rant here, let me just state that the reason for this post is not to bitch and complain. I’m not going to be purposely negative here. The purpose of this post is to help you set appropriate expectations for the next four years.
Now, I’m not going to sit here and use this post as an opportunity to tell you that either Obama or McCain are lousy candidates, or tell you who to vote for. Considering the state of politics in this country, they both are not the worst candidates we’ve ever seen. Now, is it sad that McCain and Obama are the two best candidates each party offers? Perhaps, but it could be worse.
Which brings me to my point – Whoever wins, don’t expect the next four years to be a radical departure from the pain and troubles you are now facing. While only time will show how well the winner of this election will do, the damage done by the current administration is probably too much for anyone to handle in four years.
Now, it’s fairly obvious that Obama or McCain have “the potential” to be vast improvements over the current administration, but that’s setting the bar low, right? Yup.
But who knows? If you set the bar low, you just might be pleasantly surprised sometime after 2012, when we are all driving flying cars powered by air, and will be living in cities on the moon!
