>_< THE RESULTS

So unless you're living under a rock, you've probably already checked to see who won the election. I'd like to remind everyone that I still don't really know what I'm talking about in terms of politics or anything, so if I get anything wrong (and I probably will) please feel free to POLITELY educate me. I don't really think I'll go down into the nitty-gritty, I just wanted to express my opinion on the results. DISCLAIMER: I don't really affiliate with any political party. I don't know the issues, the people behind the issues, etc. I neither hate nor like obama, and same goes with romney. I don't even care to capitalize their names. I will from now on though. Promise.

So when you google election results, you're greeted with news stating Obama was re-elected and then you take a scan at the numbers. 50% to 48%. (Yes I know it's 98%... I think something happened in Florida... something always happens in Florida)

What a dick.

I'm all for majority rules and stuff, but when choosing the leader of our country... I think it should probably be a little more one-sided than 50:48, don't you? I know it goes without saying, but if you had 100 people in a room, 50 would want Obama, and 48 would want Romney. I guess I'll be part of the leftovers. If you upscale that number to USA size... we're talking a pretty undecided country here. I know there's a lot of number crunching involved, about which states have more electoral votes, if each voted is weighted differently based on population... a lot of stuff a normal person doesn't have time for. I'm just looking at it from the surface, 50 to 48. It just doesn't do it for me for some reason. I hope I'm not the only one who thinks so. Even worse, when you look at the breakdown by state, Obama took 25 states to Romneys 24. And Florida was grey becasue it's a little bitch.

Thanks to some fine print in the rules that basically gives more "pull" towards more populous or whatever states then Obama was able to win. So where does that really leave America? With a leader that technically only kinda half wants him there. At least that's the way I see it.

Again, I'm neither pro or anti Obama. I want a President who can impact my life. Maybe I'm still too young to understand, but I don't think my life would change 4 years ago with McCain, nor do I think it will change 4 years from now with anyone else. I'm still going to pay my taxes, fill up my gas tank, go to work, raise a family and do what I can to get by. Sure I'll complain about how high gas is, how much is getting taken away from my paycheck... but what is there that I can do? I can't run up to Obama, slap him in the face and demand lower gas prices.

Who could argue with that face?

America surely is the land of the free, but the most important group of people lack a voice. The voice comes from a rep who has already been jaded with his power. Like I said previously, ultimately it doesn't freaking matter. No one normal working-man voice is going to change anything. Suck it up and move on with your life.
