New Term: Obama Drama

Oh, how I despise awful catchphrases. "Yes we can", the slogan that drove Obama through the election is coming back to wreck havoc for the not obviously stellar start of our new young President who could use a little bit of time adjusting. T-shirts and trinkets labelled with "No he can't" and "Audacity of Hype" have been selling like hotcakes according to the Financial Times.
Strange how the sentiments of Americans change after just a few months. The undying love and faith for the new President has transformed into the cynicism of the new President who is not instantly fixing all the problems that America has. Maybe, we, as Americans, should treat Obama a little less as the golden boy and more like the young inexperienced President that he is and adjust our expectations accordingly.
However, as the President, the world is expected of Obama and maybe these attacks from the cheap seats will act as a reality check that America desperately needed after assuming that all we had to do was elect young Obama to make America all better with a wave of the 'change wand'. I just hope America is a little better at the end of these four years than when we started off.

While deciphering the inner working of my fellow classmate's blog, bluntly titled American Government, I found a much needed regulation on the texting-while-driving fiasco. Senators are attempting to pass a bill to ban texting while driving. OMFG!!!

I personally have started enforcing this law on my own time by slapping any of my friends foolish enough to text while driving my precious cargo around town. However, sometimes this just results in a fist fight while driving which can potentially be more dangerous than texting while driving, so I understand the need for the bill.

I remember late one night while driving home from a certain nocturnal escapade I found a car in front of me lazily listing about the road. Assuming that they were far drunker than I, I kept my distance and cursed the low tolerance of foolish high schoolers. However, when I pulled alongside said worthless person I found a highschooler- expected, texting with both hands on his phone perched atop his steering wheel- disgusted surprise. I wanted to get out of my car and beat him with his own phone, but he drove away and I drove home to eat an entire family size bag of Doritos, angrily.

Ban texting while driving and beat whoever gets caught doing it, or at least give them a fine. Not only is it dangerous, but it is annoying.
