Ignorance is why we are where we are

I almost gagged to night at work. A older lady came in my store with bejewelled jeans and a sweatshirt. On her sweatshirt was a large picture of Barack Obama and in big bold letters was the phrase "He's Black and I'm Proud".

WTF? You know, it is ignorance like that, that makes GA 49th in the nation. Seriously I cannot get over how many people voted for him because he was black. I think it is so moronic, ignorant, stupid, etc. to vote that way!

I did not vote for him, nor did I vote for the other big ticket guy. I don't think either one of them was qualified. They did not meet the standards to which I want my president to be held. I informed myself on their issues, policies and stances. I did research. I researched all the people I wanted in office. Some Dems and some Repubs. I don't care for the two party system...I think it is a pigeon hole.

Back to topic. It is just appalling that people have voted for this man because of the color of his skin. And then announcing it to the world on their damn shirts! That is like voting for HRC and wearing a shirt with a big vagina on it saying "She's a Woman and I'm Proud" (Thanks Michelle). This woman didn't do research, she judged the book by the cover.

Has it occurred to anyone else that this is how we got into the crap situation we are in? Has it occurred to anyone else tha maybe, just maybe, we ought to hold people accountable, start asking our government officials what they are doing for us. Just becuase they are in office, doesn't mean they have our best interest at heart.

I'm just sick. Please don't get me wrong. I am an American and I will support Obama because he is my president. I may not agree with some of his policies, but I will not be negative about it. I just can't imagine the thoughts that some people have on their voting. I mean, they must run their daily lives that way. How do they make it out of bed/house alive? How do they function?
