Obama talked a very good game, while running up to his first presidency. Then, most of it went out the window, if not all of it.
I have this theory that... When you finally, officially become prezident... They sit you down, and give you... 'the talk...' Over the course of a few days or a week or so (USA at least..)...
...and once they get you up to speed, you realize, Every limb of your body is completely tied down (so to speak), except for your left pinky. And you realize just how tangled up everything is. That and probably a combination of, 'sell out syndrome,' how, for some, money, power, fame, celebrity, and circumstance: changes you...
*shrug*
Most of us are lazy voters, at best. When I get my opportunity, I usually put in a few hours to research every option, and make the best informed choice I can; but I count myself as barely above lazy as*hole, if at all.. Most people just vote straight down the line, without doing any research. And beyond that, people don't vote at all.
I say, vote because it's your right, (and really, a duty..). Whether it matters or not, doesn't matter to me... If power structures make a lot of things a moot point, that's on them.
