Like millions of other Americans I strongly supported Obama during the campaign because I was assured he would fight for real change. After one year of government I need to confess that I am kind of disappointed at him.
I know his task was (is) immense and extremely difficult. After eight years of Bush/Cheney's abuse, it became onvious that this country became almost ungovernable. Obama promised to be strong in making the fundamental changes needed, and that caught people's attention because it was a spark of hope in the middle of true chaos.
But it seems that Obama underestimated the Republicans and the right conservatives. They would do the unthinkable to make his government a "Waterloo" and to "brake Obama." They absolutely don't care about the people's needs; they only focus on the big corporations' interests. They get people's votes to be elected, and then go to Washington to vote against those people who elected them. Yes, the PARTY OF NO, the GOP (Great Obstructionist Party). In the past year they voted against ALL bills, obstructing any progress from happening. One year of NO, NO, NO. They truly are great citizens and patriots, aren't they?
Mr. President: the time is past due for you to understand that the opposition will not respond positively to your kindness and politeness. You are too much of a gentleman but you need to be rather a fighter to protect us from the the BIG CORPORATIONS and from the WALL STREET mafiosi. And now, even "THE FIVE" at the Supreme Court joined the march against people's interest. Leave those hypocrites, the Republicans, in their darkness; you must take off. Just leave them behind. Use anything needed to defend and advance the people's causes. Remember Bush/Cheney's tactics: they even used reconciliation to pass a big tax-break for the wealthy!
Enough is enough! If Obama doesn't start to fight for good, he will probably be replaced in 2012. We need a President who fights the special interests, who would send the Reps to hell with their BS, who would not waste time trying to make agreements with people who are numb from the neck up!
Will Obama ever learn how to deal with the enemies of the people in this country?

Nelson - George, George, George! Too much fervor! I do not disagree with the urgency of the times for Pres Obama to take and make his stand for the people . . BUT, Republicans are not BSers, only. Some are power and money hungry and cannot see past their own personal interests. It is high-time for the 'grass roots' to have their own 'tea party'. Is there really any 'honest men'? Hoping!
ReplyDeleteI'm not used to American politics, but if the people really want changes, they must learn voting in the "right" representatives. ("Right" here mean the correct ones). They must know that the President isn't an absolute emperor.
