President?

How is any American supposed to go into a tiny little booth in November of 2008 and pick from this current crop of Robotic wannabes? There is so little trust if any amongst the bunch. Can you say groomed? Where are the elder statesman who once were asked to run for president because of their passion to the welfare of the Union? The men who laid down their lives to go to establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility etc.. for the success of a country based on honesty, liberty and rights for all. .Not rights for the already rich only. What about the rest of us.. the majority.. how do we get an elected official into the White House or any other elected official positition who we feel confidently that they will in fact fight for the nesseccary changes that will in fact impact our communities.. Not just the nation, and the world.. charity begins at home.. We have our own starving people.. we have poverty, we have horrors the likes of which the world has never seen, yet we don't see that on T.V. We see the worlds horrors..
How stupid are we Americans? How erogant can we be?
