There are many presidential hopefuls running against president
Bush this election. But, as history shows, a single-term president
is a pretty rare occasion. Only presidents who are extremely
unpopular are voted out of office after just four years as
commander in chief.
I'm a 20 year-old college student and, in my demographic, Bush is
not a popular president. Even though my contact with other age
groups is relatively limited, I tend to get the impression that
Bush is not only unpopular among kids my age, but adults as well.
Many blame the war on Iraq, the sluggish economy and other
problems on Bush. For the most part, I place the blame in the same
place but, please, get the facts before you start talking trash.
I've heard a lot of my friends unload all their opinions on Bush.
I'm not a big fan either, but many of the opinions voiced by my
peers are unfounded and based on personal bias and ignorance. And
when ignorant people start arguing, it's really annoying.
The key is staying informed and taking action. If you're going to
say you don't like Bush, vote against him in the next election.
Even though the chances of his defeat are quite low, you can at
least say you did something to get him out of there instead of
sitting on your hands and complaining.
I'm not going to say anything about who I think you should vote
for. Find that out for yourself. If you're not content with the
way things are going in America, watch the news, read the paper
and do your homework on the presidential candidates. Everyone
eligible to vote can have a hand in changing America's social
condition.
