We need to get our priorities in order

Anyone who reads the news can plainly see that we, as a nation, need to get our priorities straight. We are currently experiencing the second biggest (if not THE biggest) financial recession in American history. We are in the middle of one war, wrapping up another war and we just started a new war. Our President is the most inept leader our country has ever seen. Millions of Americans are out of work. Our government is on the verge of shutting down because they won't agree on a budget....And yet people are worried about whether or not the President's car will go "green" by his 2015 deadline. Too many people are more worried about what Lindsay Lohan did this week than about why Arizona Sheriffs have been told to arrest fewer illegal immigrants crossing the border. Too many people open their news website and skip over the article about the Federal Reserve giving $26 billion to the central bank of Libya so they can read about why Kendra Wilkinson wasn't invited to Hugh Hefner's wedding. We need to wake up, America. We need to stop letting ourselves be distracted by all the bullshit "news" and pay attention to the things that are really important. Our country is in a downward spiral. It's not going to fix itself. The government is obviously just going to make things worse and worse. It's up to us, as American citizens to fix the problems. We can do that by getting these worthless leaders out of power and putting in people who will do the job right.
