Will a new President really change things for the better?

They always SAY that they will. We have heard so many promises that it all seems like one big fairy tale. I HATE the direction that our country has taken over the past eight years. Now that so many things are coming to light about our conduct around the world, it's clear why people hate us. I can't say that I blame them but I am timidly hopeful that a new President - who ever it may be -will work to change that. Do you believe what the candidates are promising?

well...it's kind of hard to say because presidents do tend to promise thing that they know they can't do. this country is going downhill but it is not for one particular reason. a recession is somewhat normal, but what is killing everybody is gas prices. they promise to do this and that but they end up doing something else. i am not saying that it is bad but the voters are actually looking forward to a change which was promised by the candidates. i mean if the candidates, the ones that are going to lead our nation, cannot be honest, than who can we depend on

That's the problem. I haven't seen an honest one yet. Everyone of them has been caught in a lie. It's dis- heartening.
