Obama

“It don’t matter if you’re black or white.”(Michael Jackson)


The point is that someone has to be in charge or isn’t it better to say to govern? People need it; countries need it; our money needs it. That is the way the world works whether we like it or not.
Something else is bothering me, though. We buy a pig in a poke, don’t we? We know about politicians only as much as we are told. How can we make good choices on the basis of carefully prepared campaigns, flowery speeches, artificial smiles? The victory of a politician is, in fact, the success of his advisers, analysts, public relations officers, even his speech therapists and tailors. A politician is a plasticine figure, the more flexible the better.
Being aware of many marketing tricks (public relations, communication in the media, political studies, sociology in politics – I spent many painful hours studying these subjects before exams last year but I got my eyes open!), I am a kind of an extremist disbelieving that people in power have good intentions. Intentions? I even don’t believe that they know what is going on around them.
It doesn’t mean that I don’t care. I do but I’m not yet 35 and I cannot run for the presidential election. But watch me. I wish president Obama all the best but it’s me who is going to be a real wind of change.
