Activism / Political Updates: Al Franken

The way I see it, his running for president is a sort of compromise. I'm going to have to check the candidates but what I mean is that there was already a presidential mess with Bush, so this is like a less mess. He hasn't won yet so it's not going to hit until after the election what kind of run he's had here, and besides, the truth about these weathermen is bound to do two things...One: those friends of his are not going to be making any new friends and two: Obama's going to be under scrutiny for a long time...They're probably already preparing for his eventuality in the White House. Me personally, I'd like to hope that Americans really think about what they're doing here...Somehow though I think there may be some who'd welcome him as an alternative to being passive against terrorism...the thing is now, what cost are they really willing to pay if this turns into another mess. He's spoken harshly against Afghanistan I think, which means the possibilty of more war, except he's gone after the government...which I agree with...those people in office should be the ones accountable to the president for the terrorist attacks...well the terrorists, they should speak to the U.N..and the troops that are deployed to their country. He could actually be good for some aspects of the country, but then after his term is ended he's probably going to ask himself...Well do these people really like me? That's the do all and end all of politics....the people have to like you for the change that you make to seem worthwhile.... He's probably not going to make a bloody mess of any city though...which is of prime importance. May not like him, but support him to fight his kind? He needs to be monitored and made accountable like any other presidential candidate. Read More Comments
