We all have our opinions when it comes to things. And each of us likes to have our opinions heard. I don't have a problem when you want to voice your opinion, I have a problem when you don't want to hear mine. I never said you had to agree with my opinion, just listen to it like I listened to yours.
After this election on Tuesday everyone has an opinion or already had an opinion of what would happen. I think we were disappointed in the outcome though. It's time for a change to take place in our country. And I think many people thought Obama could do it; but he hasn't. Yes, he has gotten our military out of some places. But what about the ones still serving overseas because of this war. What's he going to do for them? Read somewhere online (Facebook) that they couldn't absentee vote because their stuff didn't get their on time. How wrong is it that they didn't get the chance to vote? They are out their everyday risking their lives for our freedom, but yet they couldn't exercise their right to vote. Would it have made a difference in the outcome of the election: maybe or maybe not, but I guess we will never know, now will we?
Tuesday was the first time I have ever voted in a Presidential election. I don't do it because I wanted a certain person to win. I did it so I could stop people from judging me for not doing it. It's my choice to vote or not, just like its your choice to do it. In the elections that I haven't voted in, I don't speak on what the government is doing. Doesn't mean I agree with everything they are doing though. I do feel that at times we have to trust them in what they are doing. Yes I understand that at times they don't make the right decisions. Or they say they will do one thing but do something completely different. I feel that every politician days what we want them to say in order to get elected.
I HATE discussing politics with people. Seems like this subject will bring the worse out in people. This topic divides families apart when they don't see eye to eye. Just like the subject of race, and a lot of people are saying race played apart in this race. I would say that happened back in 2008 when he was first voted in, but I don't think that is the only reason why he got into office. It was not just the African-American race that helped with Obama getting into the White House for a second term, so did the Asian and Hispanic race. These races are what's taking jobs from us white people that need a job. How many of these people are on welfare or getting tax exempts from the government because of their race? IT'S NOT FAIR!!!! You have white people struggling to make it day by day but yet the government won't help them out. WRONG!
Here is my problem with Obama, my two biggest issues: his healthcare policy and the school lunch reform. Yes healthcare should be affordable to all but not the way he is going about it. You want to tax me if I don't have insurance, if I'm not on it, don't you think there is a reason why. I'm sure that people who are not taking insurance with their jobs is because they can't afford it. I had it when I worked yes, and I'm thankful that I did. But when I quit my job, I got insurance through a company that was nothing but a waste of my money. I paid $209 for a month of insurance, went to the doctor to get a script for my insulins and took them to the pharamcy. Went to pharmacy to pick them up and they were outrageous, $145 for one bottle and $141 for the other bottle. I was mad as all get out, because these bottles weren't much cheaper with the insurance maybe at the most $10 to $13. So I called the insurance company and canceled it because I wasn't paying that much a month for insurance and then getting the short end of the stick when it came to having to get medications. When we got the insurance, they knew I had diabetes and told me that my medications would be covered. Then I find out that they aren't going to cover any diabetes medicines, really? Not a good insurance company in my book!
School lunch reform, have you seen what is being given to kids in school today to eat? It's not enough for these kids. Two of my step-kids come home hungry everyday because their lunch isn't enough. Yes I'm feeding them before they go to school and I give them a snack when they come home. Plus a good size dinner (so don't tell me to feed my kids because I do). Part of my problem with this is you have kids that their school lunch might be their only meal for the day. And if they aren't getting enough food that means they are still hungry. It's a shame when kids are still hungry because they don't get enough to eat. Yes I understand that she wants kids to be eating healthier but our kids still need to be feed. If you don't have kids in the school system, then you should be aware that kids are going home hungry and may not have another meal until school the next day. What about these kids? They need someone speaking up for them! We need to make sure that the kids are getting enough to eat in schools. School lunches are expensive if you have to pay for them full price or reduced for the amount of food they are getting.
As a nation, we need to be praying for the next four years. GOD CAN WORK WONDERS IF WE ALL START PRAYING AND PUTTING OUR TRUST BACK IN HIM. PRAY WITHOUT CEASING! GOD WILL HEAR OUR CRY!
(This is my opinion so this is how I feel about things. If you don't like what my opinion is then that's okay. I respect your opinion of the matter)
