who the president is

We've allowed ourselves to slip into stupidity. I do think it cool a black president was voted into office since inequality on a large magnitude is in so near a past and still lingering. I also think its very disgusting that there are groups on FB such as "praying for Obamas death"-how very trashy. But do those people even know what he stands for. I don't but I don't care-from what I do know I wouldn't vote for him but I don't vote based on such little knowledge. Hardly anyone knows any more about politics beyond what the biased media has to show. The parties don't stand for anything in particular and twist and change and conform to whatever they think will get them elected. And really how much change can a president do? Someday I'd like to devote some time to understanding it all-from many perspectives. For now I'm content to focus closer to home-really close. I care about me and how I can change to better myself. I don't need the president to provide a good example of what kind of person I want me or my kids to be. As long as this is still a relatively free democratic society I choose to remain ignorant...for now.
