Cynical Old Fart
Barak Obama ... Is he right? Will he be the savior of the USA and the Planet? Is he just another dressed up, polished over voice coming to a TV screen near you? I have no idea. But there is a lesson here. As I write I face another birthday soon No. 46 in fact. I have no problem with that but after 46 years of life and 46 years of experience things happen to your mind. It becomes shaped, molded, guided and set by things that take place, things that happen, experience that can battle scar any individual forever. I watched Obama being sworn in, I watched and listened to his speech (brilliant), I sat and listened to how the American people have placed so much hope in this 'new look' President. I sat and listened to the global commentators as they asked other politicians from all over the world what they though this 'new' change would bring to the USA and the Planet? Yes I still sat there and said to myself ... 'we'll see!' Cynical old fart .. I know! However I was thinking about why I am like that and why others are like that. You see my opinion, thoughts and feelings are based on this one thing. Time and what I have experienced in my life over that time. I have experienced more than a few politicians that have failed miserably. The promised and never delivered. The spoke the truth and gave us lies. They stood up strong and lay down weak. They presented ideals and took away ideals. They offered us hope and left us in despair. I know ... Cynical old fart again! But... but and but... If Obama delivers he will have done something amazing, incredible, dynamite, fantastic, stupendously brilliant. If he doesn't I won't be shocked, surprised or have any other show of emotion over it. The problem Obama will have is re-shaping the minds of the American politicians that are also embedded with life and experience. Will they want what he feels is best for their country? I have no idea. And ... he'll have to re-shape, re-moold, re-group his own 47 year old brain into a 21st century open heart, ready to transform a nation, a world into a totally unseen direction never before taken! Politics is the predictable enigma that usually leaves a trail of destruction in its path as well as the odd glimmer of light. And to be honest I know more about motorbikes that I ever will about politics so what am I rambling on about I have no idea. Just an observation for the day that's all. Just a small note from a cynical old fart! I’d love your comment on this. Don’t forget to add your website to the comment. This blog gets a lot of traffic. I’d love to send some your way.
