During a recent outing with my family we ended up discussing the upcoming presidential election. I heard one of them say that the only way we will ever accomplish anything is if Republicans and Democrats work together.

Even George Washington himself warned us about dividing into political parties.

I dislike talking about politics because it leads to an argument no one can win. But we can’t ignore it. We can’t block it out. The future of America’s next four years is about to be decided. How can we ignore that?

At first, I wasn’t fond of either of the candidates. But as I paid more attention, they both started to grow on me and I began to form a decision.

Obama has done some great things with his presidency. It was under his administration that Osama bin Ladin was killed. He’s also done some pretty lousy things that I don’t agree with. I don’t agree with Obamacare and I don’t believe situations in the Middle East were handled correctly.

Romney on the other hand, needs to work on his foreign policy. But I believe he has good intentions for America and the debates have shown he knows what’s up.

I’ve heard people say it doesn’t matter who’s elected. Wrong. It does matter. And to whoever is elected: it’s time for a change.
