Like something which has shattered on the floor containing glass shards, toxic substances, too many pieces of gold to be thrown out (as well as fecal matter and garbage), our economic system has to be carefully sorted to see what can be saved , carefully washed, or thrown out.. It amazes me that so many people are disappointed in Obama because he promised change yet has been beating his head against the Republican wall to make that happen. How can they not be aware of his successes and mighty attempts to right the wrongs they fail to see are against them..
It doesn't matter to the Republicans that the unemployment rate dropped a significant amount. They believe people are stupid enough to believe,whatever is at fault with the world is not Bush's fault but Obama's. Or, at least, their denial allows them to.try to convince us all of that truth. Children will suffer malnutrition and many people will suicide in frustration of their life circumstances. Returning servicemen must ask the question, "For what did we suffer.these debilitating and disabling injuries?" As long as banks continue without regulation, they will continue the atrocities of foreclosures on returning (and still fighting) servicemen and their dependents
What is it that allows the right wing hypocrisy to continue to claim that the unemployed just need to go out and get jobs (when there are not enough to go around), get rid of child labor laws (put there to protect children from being abused and not having enough opportunity for proper child development), and stop asking the government for help. This position from people who are legislators who can vote themselves raises with no performance evaluation, get the best medical insurance available, and even are exempt from insider training rules, and are getting a disproportionate amount of help from the government. The Occupy Movement representing the 99% are out their asking to be heard as to the unfairness in our current society.
Money alone will not solve these problems. We need some additional positive role models mentioned by the media rather than just the violence, thefts, accidents and murders. Obama is correct in saying that we need better education for our children. Education, coping and employment skills, a view of the future that allows them to see hope that they might be able to see their American Dream possible, Right now, those who could well use education are being pushed out of it by the big banks who have taken over control of colleges and pushed tuition up and out of the reach of average people.
When will people stop listening to the snake oil salesmen and see reality, not on TV reality , highly produced shows, but around them in their own real lives? We need to start teaching everyone the importance of their one vote now so they can be prepared to cast their vote with real knowledge of the capabilities of their candidate.

When Obama was running for President, the changes he promised included bringing the Iraq war to a speedy end, repealing the PATRIOT act, ending federal raids of medical marijuana facilities in states where it is legal, and closing the Guantanamo bay detention facility. Once elected, Obama reversed course on all of these issues. Obama should not be blamed for trying to effect change and failing, but it is eminently reasonable to hold him account for failing to try for change.
