The weird thing about how this article made me feel is the fact that I was only 10 years old when Mr. Dukakis was in the race. I do remember my parents talking about it with other "old people" and they're bantering back and forth. The thing that sticks in my mind, and this goes for both sides of the aisle, that these articles are like business strategies and analysis that you find in the back of the business section of a newspaper. It sounds like these presidential hopefuls strategize to make the right statements in order to make the public feel a certain way. These people come up with highly strategized and psycological phrases and words in order to not serve the people but to serve their own aspirations and goals. Not that there is anything wrong with the previous statement, its just that the business of the federal government seems to have become a club for an esteem part of the American society. The funny thing is, is that everytime that you go out and get into conversations about these topics or issues that involve our country and its politics, everybody knows how to run it and the elected officials never do what we think is the most obvious of things. I guess we're dumber than we think...
