《Idealism》The Start of Change (2)

Judicial, Executive, and Legislative.
The President stared into the camera and they of the 3 Branches of Government stared back.
Shit, how was he to start again? He suddenly wanted to be all the way back at home, listening to music. But no, he was the President, he's not allowed to make these kind of choices.
"Hello and Good-" He stuttered, "- Good Day. Today I will be sharing my plans for my term as President."
Only his Lawyer Assistant was here in the Oval Office with him, yet he felt the pierce of more than a thousand stares.
"Firstly, as President, I would like to solve at least one problem before the end of my term. And that would be the Homeless.
I believe that all people, no." Shit, he's blanking out. Fuckfuckufkckck
He took a deep breath. The President can't blank out in front of everyone. "I beleive that the Homeless can be easily-"
He took another deep breath. Something seemed to be trying to claw its way out of his throat.
The Assistant looked at him.
"Okay, maybe the Homeless cannot be easily solved. But we can still solve it. Here I have thought up a plan on solving the Homeless, not that its a problem, but that its an, its an, it can be solved."
Stuttering. The President can't stutter.
Have you ever heard of the Spotlight Effect? When someone makes a mistake, it seems to them that the mistake is glaringly obvious to everyone, but the truth is that it is not so.
Yes, but he is the only one in front of everyone right now! His reputation!
"The Homeless," he started, and then he stopped.

Why the failure to change the world?
Lack of Connections, Failure to Lead, Inability to grasp Human Nature.
Why the failure to change the world?
Actually, I don't know the answer to that question. I have an idea of the answer, but that is all it is. An idea, and not an answer. The above may not be wrong, but they may not be fully correct, either.
Why the failure to change the world?
But who is to say that we have failed to change the world?
The 46th President suddenly had an ephipany.
It has been said before, but not by you.
He was the President, but he was also Joseph King. Fuck it, he decided. His reputation as Joseph King was shit, so fuck it.
"To hell with it. Look here." Joseph took a ruler from his desk and stepped to the side. He pointed the ruler to the words on the whiteboard behind him. There, surrounded by a mad mess of circles, was the word 'Homelessness'.
"There are many reasons for Homelessness, and thus it is not the responsibility of a single house? branch? committee. It is not the responsibility of a single committee. Look."
He stared straight into the camera. Does it stare back?
"Everyone has to work together. We will eradicate homelessness through ethical means.
First!" He tapped the ruler to the whiteboard. "The reasons for homelessness. Divorce, lack of paying jobs, or rather, well-paying jobs, unable to pay leading to eviction or foreclosure, mental illnesses or abuse leading to one leaving the house one way, one reason or another, yada, natural disasters, physical crippli- cripplelility? Is there such a word?" Joseph shook his head. "Crippled. They're crippled physically and lost their job or something. that's right, loss of jobs as well. Also, drug abuse? No, addiction. Addiciton to substances or gambling or yada, nada, i don't know, addicted to something that causes them to lose money a lot. Then there are the loss of pensions and whatnot. as well as, as well as, I think that's all of it? Yeah? Whatever. I can't memorise this shit.

What I can tell you, is that this is not the responsibility of one single person. It can be responsible, no, you all can be responsible, no, that sounds like I'm faulting you, uh, uh I'm drawing a blank here, you know what,"
Joseph inhaled. "We all will work together to eradicate homelessness through ethical means. That's it. I don't see how homelessness is benefiting anyone. It's a problem and, well, Homelessness is a problem, the Homeless is not. So let's deal with it.
Comittee of Medical Health! No wait, I don't think there's such a committee. That's right! There are also the people who are unable to pay medical fees and end up on the streets as well! Now, where's my sheet of all the committees..."
He took it out of a drawer and smacked it with his hand. "Comittee of Education and Labor! Is there a way to increase salaries of the jobs of the..." He sighed. "I think I'm getting ahead of myself. Take 5 everyone, I need to freshen up for a bit and re-adjust my thoughts."
The camera is covered. It is then removed a moment later. The President is gone. Where he was standing is a cardboard cut-out inked with a black marker, reading '5 min break'.
