Rising or setting sun?

In my government class last Friday, we had an interesting discussion. For those of you unfamiliar with this chair, it's George Washington's chair he sat in. However, whether the sun is setting or rising is a matter of opinion for everyone. For the past 8 years, I would've said it was setting. For those that know me well, you know I don't care much for George W. Bush. His economic values were bad, and he put us in a war that he his foreign policy leader advised him against in the first place. However, that's water under the bridge and America, especially Barak Obama, must move forward to clean up George W. Bush's mistakes. And, there are many of them.

I agree that the sun is rising. I changed my political party from Republican to Democratic for a variety of reasons. First, I find politics very boring--although writing about them can become very interesting. All the Republicans I have read up on, whether they be governors, senators, or presidents have had much of the same ideas. They want to spend money on wars, raise taxes, and bring the economy down.

Democratics, on the other hand, care about what the people's vote in the country. They realize people themselves run this country, and it's not the politicians. If it wasn't for us, politicians would be out of work. They care about progress and want to see change in America. They want to make it better, lower taxes, and want to see a prospering economy. I tend to trust democratics much more.

I stand behind my vote for Barak Obama. Not only will he bring the rise in the economy we hope to see, but he will bring changes that will benefit society as a whole. In a recession, only hope can prosper the seed of change. Barak Obama will lead us in the transition to get America back to economic wealth.
