Obama, Clinton, Harper, Dion... politics kill me sometimes. Since Obama won the president elect, I've tried to tune out of politics yet of course if you live in Canada you can't help but hear talk about the "confidence vote" that's up in the air right now.

 

The problem with politics is the exact same problem with economics... no one has a fucking clue as to what they're doing. You've got a couple of years in office, barely enough time to get to know the ropes, then you've got literally dozens of advisors all of which have ulterior motives to the advice they give you, then you got corporations trying to buy or cash in their political favours and then you got the public whom you're supposed to serve but the public isn't just the public, it breaks into an economic class structure in which what's good for one class may mean death for another. Let's not forget foreign relations either which is always a brewing storm. Then if you're lucky you'll be able to max out your term and sway the country towards the goal you set only to have some other cock sucker take power and push the country in an entirely new direction. Even if your party is elected again, there are no promises to where the allegiance of the new leader lies... so what I'm really trying to say is it's all politricks.
