Ever since I began working for Ka Leo, it doesn't matter if I have a billion other things to do, books to analyze, creative short-stories to rework, e-mails to send, or articles to edit--I'll find a way to keep updated with the news.
But I find politics exhausting.
By watching the numerous one-sided decisions, it's obvious there are many things the public isn't being told. I don't want to turn into a conspiracy theorist, but the decisions being made are not done so by "stupid" people, and yet, they seem nonsensical to the public. Something's wrong. Rather, something's been wrong for a while.
Despite everyone hating Obama, I'm still a supporter. He jumped in a goop pit by becoming president at this moment in time--and I guarantee anyone brave enough to take his position would be hated by the majority who expect everything to be a quick-fix. The old saying goes, "things have to get worse before they get better," and I believe it to be in similar fashion for the U.S. right now.
People wanted change, but now they don't. Of course not everyone's going to agree with every change proposed, but for the first time in a long time, we see a president making an effort for the betterment of the little people.
That can't be said for a mass-majority of other politicians--including the events that have taken place in our own Hawai`i abodes.

I'd argue that Bush was also put in a pit by becoming the president. I honestly thought a lot of what he did for the country was beneficial, but then 9/11 happened. The Iraq war may be been started because of the Bush administration as well, but every leader makes bad decisions; Bush just made a big one.
