For over a year, the topic that has been on everyone’s mind has been the 2008 Presidential Election. Although the election is now over and Barack Obama will become the next President of the United States in January 2009, politics are still going to be a very hot topic for the foreseeable future. There are a lot of pressing issues facing the United States right now, and people are going to remain interested in the direction that country goes.

I noticed how much politics are on everyone’s mind when I took a trip to Washington DC several months ago. Even though politics are always a hot topic in this city, I noticed that they were even more prominent than ever before. I spoke with a lot of different people while I was in Washington, and everyone of my conversations revolved around this topic. Since I had to meet with so many different people, I used the Internet to reserve a rental car before I arrived in Washington DC. I’m glad that I got a rental car while I was in Washington DC because it allowed me to have a countless number of intriguing conversations with a wide variety of people.
