This rant stems from the many negative status updates I see posted by my Republican friends on facebook nearly everyday. Now politics are not something that I get into or talk about a lot, because I don’t really follow it. I know what is going on in the world and I read the news everyday but I don’t like to get into the political side of things, mostly because it gives me a headache and I feel that it’s pointless to argue with anyone; you’re not going to change their mind and/or views.
I can’t stand close-minded people, and I especially can’t stand the ones who feel the need to broadcast their opinions all over the interwebs. I am a veteran to this whole facebook/myspace/twitter status updated phenom, I’ve been there since the beginning. The majority of my friends are Democrat, because I myself am also a Democrat. But, the ratio of my Democrat friends updating us with smack talk of Bush compared to the ratio of my Republican friends talking negatively about Obama is exponentially lower.
President Obama has understandably had a rough first 100 days of his term. He has to clean up after George Bush, it’s not easy cleaning up something that has completely gone to shit. I know, I’ve cleaned my boyfriends bedroom before, it’s basically the same concept. I happen to think that Obama is doing a great job with what he has to work with. I also think that he genuinely cares about this country and ways to improve life not only for the rich but also for the poor.
I’m tired and I need coffee, I don’t know or care if anything I said made any sense. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, and I’m entitled to be annoyed by said opinions.
