The other night I mentioned to a friend of mine that I thought it pretty poor that a presidential candidate has the audacity and the lack of forethought to say to the American public, "Gee, I'm not sure how many houses I have." It just screams to me that he is completely out of touch with me and my little birdhouse. Even if it's true, he needs to be a bit more diplomatic and thoughtful when he answers. I mean, what's he going to say to opposing world powers without thinking first.

So after mentioning this, I learn that this friend now assumes I am for the other candidate. I never said that either. The other candidate made $4 million last year on one book. I don't think he really knows where I'm coming from either. And they've spent so much time making him a celebrity as opposed to a government worker who is looking out for my best interest. He's a bit green for my taste.

Everyone gets all riled up for these things. My take is this, I find it hard to believe I only have two choices. I don't care for either one, frankly. It is hard to believe with the millions of people in this country that each one of us is to find a politician with our best interests at heart in one of two people. It just seems unrealistic to me.
