As you can see in the above video, this person takes politics SUPER-FUCKING-SERIOUS. This is like serious mode times a thousand. And the part that triggered me--in between fits of laughter--was when this gentleman started calling out Obama for the fact that he's done absolutely fuck all.
Guess what mate, that's politics. A lot of talk where fuck all happens which culminates in a four year term of empty words and broken promises. If another president had been selected (I think Bush ran in '08 against Obama but not sure) then nothing would've happened either. Everything is based on luck. It was lucky that they (Obama and co.) found Bin Laden. It was unlucky that the economy collapsed. If Bush was still president, the economy would've collapsed all the same. And he probably would've found Bin Laden all the same.
And despite the fact that I'm taking America as an example, it's not all that different to... well, any nation really. The promises that we got to hear first hand from Prime Minister Mark Rutte were along the same stretch. We'd get out of the recession, shit would be fixed, our expenditure would decrease, we would start working towards reducing the costs that the nation was making and the citizens had to pay for and we'd start working toward a better Netherlands. And now the coalition collapsed and we're going to have to vote again because they couldn't make it last.
To all those who keep themselves extremely occupied with politics, I won't tell you to stop. The only thing I ask of you is that you try and get a little less wound up over it when shit will inevitably hit the fan. Because if you don't, and you end up becoming like the guy in the video, you'll drop dead of a coronary by age 40. And that's a guarantee.
