Promises, promises.......

  Hello everyone,

  I watched a somewhat funny movie yesterday. It was called "Man of the Year".  Brief synopsis:  Robin Williams plays a comedic news man who runs for president of the United States...and due to a glitch in the voting process, he wins.  In the end, after finding out about the glitch, he walks away and continues to be a comedic news man.

   His arguments during the one debate he was allowed to attend really struck home.  How can candidates pledge to find or discover alternative energy when they have oil lobbyists in their pocket?

   How can candidates "promise" to...1) Repeal Obama care,  2) Get folks jobs,   3) Lower taxes and the list continues to grow.

   Presidents cannot wave a wand a la Harry Potter and expect promises made as candidates to come true.

   Until candidates realize that they need to rein in Congress and stop the bi-partisan bickering, nothing will change for the better.
