Politics..Keeping Us Hopeful.. and Confused..

Everyone seems to know who is best for the country.. Obama.. Hillary( she will be giving a formal speech this Saturday stating her withdrawal and full support for Obama in his attempt for presidency).. McCain. These 3 candidates all have great topics to get Americans mesmerized by their political plight to free us from High Gas Prices, a slowing economy, and most of all the War in Iraq. But what does their campaign really mean for the fate of the American People?
I feel it's a muster of confusion, that keeps the people who are already confused at a greater state of confusion, and for those that are politically "aware" , it makes them question their decisions on the "perfect candidate" who would fulfill their hopes of a Better America in the year 2009. For now, the democrats and the republicans all sound alike to me. My fear is that McCain will keep us in the war longer then we want to. My fear of Obama is that he keeps on going on and on about "everyone deserves free health care" - in which this aspect is easier said then done. Am I going to be paying for the free health care that is promoted? Will people who have been working hard, paying taxes, have higher tax increases due to this idealistic "utopia" generalized statement that will DEFINITELY have social and economical impact?
The fate of the American People are now up ..it's time to Vote in November.. but do we all really know who's best for the Oval Office? Or is it just nice to hope that who we choose HOPEFULLY will have a better outcome then what we are facing now?
When Bush was re-elected..not one person imagined our country being in the state it is now. How so many young men and women have been fighting and dying in Iraq. How long and torturous, let alone costly this war has been on our country is indescribable. When the pavements of roads in American cities need work, where Hurricane Katrina still leaves New Orleans in a constant state of rebuilt.. we are currently wasting our money for a war that no longer has meaning.
All I want for 2009 is to get the hell out of Iraq.. why fight a war that has been going on for thousands of year between a nation that does not belong to us nor represents us in any way? Our future America needs to be more selfish.. we need to stop policing and aiding a world that is not ours to govern. There's aiding and then there's prying .. we need to stop prying damn it!
