We Gotta change our mind-setting if we really want to have a better future for this country

during this presidential campaign, we might hear a lot of promising words from both of our president candidates. It was the same like 4 years ago back when Bush was running for the election against John F. Kerry. Many people feel disappointed with Bush government as we can see clearly now that we did vote for the wrong president 4 years ago. There are 2 things that people will remember from his government, the recession ( the world economics crisis) and Iraq war. None of them are good. Many people oppposed his decision when he declared a war with Iraq, I mean why would we fight for other people's freedom and peace while we still have a lot of people suffering in our own country? I don't blame those who don't join the voting this year for they're hopeless with the future of this country. Everytime we vote for a new president hoping that this time would bring a light for this country ,it always turn out to be another "disaster". I don't say they're right for not voting though. I have to admit that America has had bad leaders, but it doesn't mean Americans are bad people. I still feel we have a hope for this country if we work it out together. Maybe we should start to change our mind setting first,if we want our leader to be changed because who's gonna be the next leader is in our decision and not anyone else. During this election, the situation is a little bit different since this is the first time we have a black person running for president candidate. Almost most people may see America as a freedom country which I don't completely agree with that statement. I think there are some countries who have as much freedom as we have. In fact, racialism is still exist in this country even it's not obvious but I'm sure all of us can feel it between us. We can see from the voting survey this lately, there are numbers of people who vote based on their race. I really hope people in this country can be an open-minded person who doesn't judge person from their age,gender,race or anything but their ability and experience because that's all you need to become a good leader. Seriously, come on..Does it matter with our government system if our president a black/white person or female/male? I bet if do have a reason, it maybe because you're from one of the groups and you're not thinking about the sake of this country but for your own. So, in my opinion, the first thing we can do for this country is to participate in political activity like voting and don't just vote but vote for the good of this country.
