Political observations

Two things keep coming up in the very few conversation I have had about politics recently.

First, regardless of who wins the US presidential elections shortly, history will be made. We will either have 1) the oldest elected President and a female Vice President, or 2) the first Black President.

Second, the people that we vote to put into office do not run the country (by themselves). As a friend of mine so eloquently stated today, I paraphrase, "One good apple does not turn a bushel of bad apples good."

American politics, like most other politics I suspect, is going to take a long time to right itself in the eyes of the People.
