Him

(Before It's News)



He came out of nowhere but you still voted for him
because you wanted change. Between you and me, at first you could hardly spell
his full name.
Somehow he managed to win the elections and become
President. He did appeal to the masses. He talked a lot even without saying
anything meaningful. He had made lots of promises, but didn’t deliver any of
them. 
When he became president, instead of doing anything to
improve the situation of the people, he did everything to improve his own
position so that he could stay in power. He was supposed to stand for the
little guy, but the big corporations he preached against were the ones he
benefited instead. Kids would chant his name in schools like some mantra.
Supporters would say his name again and again like brain dead zombies. No one
understood what he was really all about, he never said it in the first place,
but charisma, millions in campaign marketing would do the trick.
The man who was supposed to bring change and for once
take the side of the working class ended up repeating socialist blabber on one
side, and handing tax payers money to mega corporations on the other. He made
sure to milk the middle class as much as possible so as to redistribute it
fairly. To him, that would mean giving the biggest chunk of the pie to
corporations and then throwing scraps through welfare programs that benefitted him
politically, forcing the will of the people with handouts.
Whenever he could he would strike against individual
liberties. Any form of criticism was no longer considered a natural consequence
of debate and observations, but an unpatriotic act that shouldn’t be accepted.
Soon enough, you noticed that less and less people
criticized him. Even celebrities didn’t dare speak against him, some afraid of
being shunned by their peers, who would never accept someone “from the other
side”, others were simply in his payroll in one way or another. 
When the time came to vote again, people just didn’t
learn the lesson. Some couldn’t live without uncle sugar´s money, he made sure of
that during his first term. It didn’t matter that the opposition had been
demonized, that he had created a new kind of politics, of hatred and revenge.
I was as if no one noticed that he had turned a once
proud nation into a shadow of its former, glorious self.  He simply was unworthy of the Presidency he
held. Seems people wanted more of that, and went out and chose that again
through their vote.
The damage done will take decades to undo. In the end,
we got the country we deserved.
His name was Nestor Kirchner and he destroyed my
country.
