You might have noticed that there’s been a little political slant to the blog posts. Thats because I believe we’re entering one of the most important political periods in a while. The Democrats have the majority in Congress, they’re hoping to get the majority in the Senate and they’d love a Democrat President for the trifecta. While I’m not certain it will happen (the Country isn’t happy with either party at the moment it would seem) one thing is for sure, we need to break up the hold on the office that two families have had for 20 years.

Actually, Peggy Noonan has a good OpEd piece this week on how the Bush’s and the Clinton’s have held the country captive for the past 20 years now and its probably time to break that hold. While I don’t agree with her on Obama being the best choice to do that (I don’t like his views on Iraq, taxes and other issues) I do agree that its time to break the hold and that unlike previous families who have held the office these two have done little to make the country better.

The problem, as Miss Noonan points out is that the longer the family holds the office, the farther their reach stretches and its that root system that will make it hard to break their hold. Whats needed is a candidate who can appeal to both sides of the political divide and manage to govern this country the way it needs to be. Less government, lower taxes and more opportunities for American citizens. Some one who not only talks the talk but they can walk the walk and actually believe what they say because its the right thing to do and its not what the public wants to hear.

The good thing is that if the country and the media can get past their current infatuation with Hillary, there are actually good candidates to choose from for the office of president. I hope we manage to wake up before February and the Primary season.
