President Action Rant

The president used the phrase, "Spudnik Moment" in his SOTU speech in reference to JFK's rebuttal in that we would set a man on the moon at the end of that decade. it got me thinking, not only would it be impossible to actually do something major and momentous as setting a man on the moon, but in this social media climate the president would get torn to shreds by fox and other media outlets for even proposing them. personally i want something like the moon landing to happen. i would like to see the president get up on stage and say to the world that we plan to put a man on mars by the end of this decade, (we choose to go to mars in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.). if not space then something as momentous as it in comparison. something that will not only create jobs and money, but also unite us and show the world (and ourselves) that we are still capable at creating moments that we look back on in reverence for the accomplishments we made. that we are still capable of innovating solutions for our problems, and instead of spending all our time debating things that we still have the will power to actual do something about it. we are rotting from the center as a nation. we had a single moment of unity on 9/11 but our douchebag asshat of a president turned what should have been a world sympathizing healing moment into a clusterfuck war/fear/hatred mongering asscloud of suffering. 
i want the president to lead us for a change. i want the president to not just say what he wants us to do, i want him to dictate those things for us to do. if the hoover dam was proposed in today's world it would never leave the commissioners desk, if the highway project was proposed by Obama fox would call him a Nazi socialist and it would never even get started. if Obama proposed we go to the moon in this decade, fox would tear him a new one saying he is wasting money in space instead of spending it on things down here. nothing major can even begin to start because media has too much power and handcuffs the president from making bold decisions. whats sad is the president lets them. i say let him be bold, i say propose something major Mr. President. i want bold, i want action, i am so tired of all this talk about shit that never gets done.

The Trump International Hotel and Tower, also known as Trump Tower Chicago and locally as the Trump Tower, is a skyscraper condo-hotel in downtown Chicago, Illinois. The building, named after real estate developer Donald Trump, was designed by architect Adrian Smith of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. Bovis Lend Lease built the 98-story structure, which reached a height of 1,389 feet (423 m) including its spire, its roof topping out at 1,170 feet (360 m). It is adjacent to the main branch of the Chicago River, with a view of the entry to Lake Michigan beyond a series of bridges over the river. The building received publicity when the winner of the first season of The Apprentice television show, Bill Rancic, chose to manage the construction of the tower.
