So in my new book I talk a lot about being awesome and how you have to punch your inner hippie, but I just don’t see enough awesomeness these days. Everyone is all focused on this election coming up like that’s some super huge deal. What we’ll be electing is the head of the U.S.’s government, i.e., the head of the least important part of America. Sure, we want to punish incompetence there, but that doesn’t always happen. And no matter what, it’s on the people not in government to make this country great. The politicians will always be an obstacle to that to some degree or another, but we’re going to have to trounce those obstacles and be awesome anyway because that’s what we do as Americans. We wake up each morning and punch the day in the face. Because we own the day.

So, yes we want Obama thrown out of office, yelled at, and then spat upon because that’s the only way he’ll learn that he sucks and needs to stop doing that, but let’s not blow out of proportion how much that affects us. We’re Americans. We’ve entrusted by our fore fathers with awesomeness and we must wield that every day to the best of our ability. And only by demonstrating awesomeness each day in our own lives can people then see that Obama and his hippie followers suck in comparison. Remember: It’s not elect the right guy and then the country gets to be awesome; we need to be an awesome country and then the rest will fall into place.
