I loved Michelle Obama's "the way the world should be speech." It should have been given to background music of John Lennon's "Imagine."

I can't help but think though if the world were the way it should be it would start with better candidates from which to choose, not the community organizer (insert debate club president) who gave one speech oversease as his foreign policy "cred" on the Democrat side, and a man who lives in the past like it were an old John Wayne war movie and believes we should stay the course on current economic policy on the Republican side in spite of evidence to the contrary.

A world where people don't fly planes into our buildings, and foreign countries acknowledge all that America has done for them in their time of need, instead of hate us out of envy becuase they choose to stick to antiquated ideaology and oppressive regimes, while despising us for our success.
