Do Teenagers Really Care About Politics?

Most of the time no, but this one does. I have pretty much have followed since Obama was up for election. Why? Some may ask. Well, to tell you the complete truth, he sucks. He promised within a year of him being president that he would have the soldiers out of Iraq, I'm pretty sure they are still there fighting. I know people fighting in the war and I'd like to see them come home. I know everyone else out there probably knows (maybe not personally) someone fighting in Iraq, or training to do so. He also has screwed up health care. Yeah some people really do need it and can't have it but it doesn't mean 'We the people of the United States' want to pay for it. Yeah that's correct, everyone of you that has an average income will be paying for someone else's health care. I don't want to pay for some unhealthy bum who couldn't take care of themselves to be taken care of. Another thing about the health care is that most Americans didn't want this bill to be a law. But what happened anyways? He passed it! Like i said before "We the people of the United States" not 'Obama the person of the United states.' Sorry Obama if you want total control that isn't found in America, we aren't communist, we've fought against it! Then this whole thing with Arizona passing there law about checking for illegal mexicans in the country. Personally, I'm all for it. But no, Obama has to meet with the President of Mexico and bash our country, yes bash it as in criticize it, with their president. Last time i checked I'm pretty sure you shouldn't do that especially when you're the president. That seems unamerican. Another thing was at first Obama wasn't going to go to Arlington Cemetary for the Memorial Day service, nope, he was going to go to Chicago and have fun with his family. First of all, almost everyone should honor the veterans and those now serving. And 2nd of all the president should set an example to the rest of us and give up something for our country, like the soldiers do everyday. As I said before, maybe he thinks this is his country, he can do whatever he wants. FALSE!!!!! But in the end he went to the service, good Obama. I gave up something fun for the memorial day service where I live. I'm in the marching band at my highschool, well drumline to be exact. Don't get me wrong it's fun. But for the parade we had to wear full uniform, that's like wearing a winter coat and snowpants. It was 90 degrees F outside. We were sweating like crazy, and we all felt sick from the heat. Some passed out. We had to march and stand in it. I carry a 30ish pound drum (quints/tenors) so that's a pretty big workout in itself, add the heat and you have one heck of a workout. See Obama you aren't the only one that has to give up something for that. And truthfully I'm glad i marched and honored our soldiers.
