Watching the Meltdown from afar

"BUSH: HELP ME OR WE'RE ALL DOOMED"

This is the headline on The London Paper's front page. Granted, I think it could be said that the publication is more gossip and sensationalism than respectable journalism, but it made me laugh out loud as I was handed a copy walking past Regent's Park tube station today after work. Not because of the epic issue at hand, but because of the humorous undertone the words screamed with. Helpless, silly America, what have you gotten yourself into?

It's very interesting to watch in a different country. Although I can try to imagine what people in America right now are feeling, I really can't grasp it. Over here i see a very different view of what's happening in this crisis, the election or anything else newsworthy in America. I wouldn't go as far as to say it is objective, because there are definite sentiments on America its citizens, but it's a different point of view than I've ever seen.

I just watch and read as much as I can and hope that our current and future leaders in Washington can pull it together and come up with a plan to get us out of this mess. As much as we can sit back and say they're all a just bunch of crooked politicians, and their policies are the ones that got us into this mess, there comes a time when you just have to look at them and say, you're a leader. Please lead, and help us out of this mess.

I'm just glad I'm earning my money in pounds.
