As we approach the looming end of the Bush era, the question now arises. What now? the aftershock of the last 8 years is going to weigh heavy on this country for at least 5 more years. So I hope that no one is thinking that once the new President is elected that everything is going to be better. Unfortunately this is not a movie and life is not a fairy tale. The sad truth is that the new PREZ will have a very difficult up hill battle waiting for him and any candidate who does not prepare for this or understand this is surely going to fall flat on their face.
It would seem that if the new PREZ does not take a hard line towards change he will be considered weak and a liar and should he go out and try to clean up the mess left behind by the former he will be scrutinized and lynched by the media. There is really no way to win in the upcoming years the best thing is to ride it out and try to prevent any new issues from destroying the social fabric of the US. Will the next president lower gas prices, NO. Will he bring about a National Healthcare plan? NO. Will he help fix the problems with Immigration in the country? NO. Will he begin to bring the troops home? hmm not at least for another 3 years, I believe he will save that for his next presidential race. All he will have time to do is to try and make the people believe that he did not lie to them in order to get into office and that he is diligently trying to right the wrongs, but there will be very little show.
The battle that lays ahead for the next president is not going to be an easy one at all. For one he may be too old to make an impact of any magnitude and for the other he may be too dark to be taken seriously. So at this point all I can do is sit around and wait to find out what will happen come May 9, 2009.
