WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TODAY?

By now we all know that Barack Obama is one of the candidates for the upcoming US presidential election against John McCain...and whether u noticed it or not, Obama has been compared to and is said to be d next John F. Kennedy! Now Kennedy became the youngest ever US President at the age of 43 whilst Obama was born in 1961 and is 47 years old this year, both of them read law and whilst Kennedy served in the army Obama did not (i hope i got this right).

While Obama received backings from the Kennedy family and more during the race against Hillary Clinton (actually i was hoping for Hillary to win rather than Obama), i have yet to understand why such comparison is necessary as i am pretty sure that all those backings and fundings will be burden and promises which Obama will have to sort out should he be elected as President.

so my question is...while you do and say almost anything to get yourself elected to what-so-ever position that may be, whom do you serve at the end of the day? do you serve your voters coz without their votes you'd never be elected OR do you serve those who supported you with the necessary fundings and nominations?

In any election...in which ever country you may be ..candidates tend to ever-promised. Be it to reduce taxes, petrol price, create more jobs, give more scholarships and worst of all candidates always promise to create a better future, a change to increase our standard of life....and we the people one way or another would succumb to such promises...

the thing is, we demand for better future and that is promised to us by our leaders and future leaders...yet we play no role for such future. we expect our elected representatives, be it pro-govt or opposition, to work hard above and beyond for us yet what have we done to make our lives and ourselves better?

Kennedy once said...ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.... and here i am asking you what have you done today to improve yourself? to improve your life quality, to help your goverment to help you?

i think most of us comes from governments...of the people by the people to the people....yet we the people are never satisfied nor grateful for what the government has done for us that we demand more and more every time and day....so think...what have you done today?
