I want someone to seriously sit down with me and help me understand why everyone losses their minds when it comes to politics. You have never met so many Political Science majors until something in the world of CNN shifts. Like when, just as an example, Obama signs over tobacco legislation and jurisdiction over to the FDA.
You can yell and scream and bitch and whine and cry and piss yourself all you want, but two simple facts will not change: ONE (and the most important to remember) Youtube ISN'T an operable form of soapbox to lobby the federal government with. In short, all that time you spent yelling at your webcam, writing blogs, and arguing with loved ones over the issue has rounded up to get you absolutely nothing. Good job.
SECOND: I have heard from more than one person their disdain for Obama allowing this, because he has better things to take care of. And I agree, he has lots more, and better, things to take care of. We are at war with almost and entire continent, our healthcare system is in shambles, and the only thing separating the banking community from the torches and pitchforks of an angry mob is Obama's own administration. The thing is, thats what he's taking care of... right now... What the FDA is doing, is their prerogative. Saying that "Obama doesn't need to worry about tobacco" is like saying "What the hell is that DMV worker doing at the DMV?? He's a governmental employee!! Doesn't he know there is a war going on??" Make sense to you? Doesn't make much to me either... and I thought of the analogy.
Obama isn't worrying about tobacco, the FDA is, and has been solely since this whole fiasco started. In conclusion, if you didn't know anything about politics before, you still don't. Watching CSpan doesn't make you an expert. Furthermore, if you want to get into politics, a rule of thumb I generally follow is to look up something you hear before you go on a ti-raid about it. Especially when you hear it from your church's Pastor, or the dreadlocked girl who wears hemp everything that works at the Starbucks you frequent. Just a thought.
PS: Everyone PLEASE, chill out! Politics don't have to be painful! Just stop shouting GODDAMNIT!!
