DO NOT MISTAKE PRESIDENT OBAMA'S KINDNESS FOR WEAKNESS

The worst kind of people are those who confuse kindness for weakness. -Werner Makowski, banker (b. 1929) 

Obama doing his job
People misunderstood Obama's ethics and attempts to work with others as weakness.  He has nothing to lose by trying to be the best president he knows how to be.  We can readily see that the Republicans, who have no real wish for the country to do much except for the wealthy, plan to continue their obstruction to anything that will help the economy, the middle class, and thus the country overall.

Romney no longer has  lie about what he will do as president.  His new lies are in the service for having to find a way to lay the blame on the Democrats for 'giving the gifts' to the electorate.  Further, some Republicans are trying to impeach President Obama  on the theory that he is not an American citizen born in America.  We haven't seen Trump lately.  I wonder if he is behind that one.

It was gratifying to hear firmness and constrained anger from our President, defending Susan Rice.  He must have finally figured out that the Republicans are ruthless and does not plan another four years of trying to appease them. Haley Barber has it correct when he says the Republicans all have to start by having a proctology exam .He believes the problem of the Republican loss must be studied thoroughly.

Assuming the Republicans will try to retain a high profile but we shall see when they will see reality.  It sounds like Jindal, one of the brighter Republicans, see where his political future will have to veer.
