The Road to the White House

The road to the White House is not a simple task. Most American’s have no idea what it takes to become President of the United States of America. But what wins an American Presidency? Let’s get to the heart of that.

Barack Obama becoming the first black President of the United States is a milestone for America but did American’s make the decision based on the facts? Did American’s get swindled into believing he was the “best” man for the job? Are we all so hypnotized by television that we trust and believe whatever it told to us each and everyday by the newscasters? The answer is yes, you bet cha!

Have Americans become so lazy that they don’t care about the facts or finding out what or whom they are voting for? Can we honestly say Americans are in a since ignorant when voting because all they do is feed into the rhetoric? Lastly, can we believe that some Americans vote with their emotions rather than their head? The answer to all of these questions are yes.

How do you really know who is the best person for the job? How do you find the information in a non-biased manner? Should you as an American do your homework when voting or should you leave it up to the newspapers, news anchors and short commercials? What is your role in the election?

Do you know what it really means to be a Democrat? How about being a Republican? What does it mean to be an Independent? Do you really know where it all started and how these parties divided? Do you really understand why it is important to know the difference? It might surprise you what the fundamentals of each parties objectives are. What you might not realize most Americans vote based on one or two issues instead of looking at the overall picture. Most Americans also believe that one party is for an issue and the other might not be just based on their political association. This is not true, you must check the facts.

My object is for you to understand what your part is in the American election and how outside forces persuade you to vote. Most Americans don’t make up their own minds they let others do it for them. Right now you are thinking that is not true but keep reading my blog posts with an open mind and you will understand this is a true statement.
