No sense in pretending...

The president's platform statement "Yes We Can" really has no meaning to me. I've never cared about politics and I've arbitrarily formed my own opinion on public policy from my own views growing up. I've traveled the world and lived overseas for most of my life, so until recently, American politics was of no concern of mine. I'm hoping this class can teach me more about the government that my passport has stamped on the front of it and teach me about how to make more informed decisions about the people I elect into office. My Political Typology result, "Disaffected", was a surprise for me because I always considered myself to be conservative. Apparently, only 11% of the American public is considered disaffected and I'm interested in learning more about my political ideologies! I know this semester will teach me a lot, as I have a lot to learn!
