It is a matter of great distress to me that the entire world seems to look to the United States to solve its problems when we are struggling to come out of our own for the last eight years under G W Bush and company. I support our President in not being vindictive, trying to promote legal action against the traitorous crew that dragged us down in world regard.
Listening to many remarks, comments and opinions about Obama, it is painful to attempt to fathom the sore losers, the many who believe the only way to handle anxiety is to try to run the country themselves. In my opinion, President Obama has, overall, done an intelligent and superior job. He has been able to keep campaign promises and tackle priorities with a mind to fulfilling as many as he is capable of influencing as quickly as he can get cooperation.
Only the small majority of Republicans who are totally unable to look to the good of the country and accept changes that seem indicated by the needs of the American citizens, appear to lack patriotism, allegiance to the chosen President, and acceptance that the political game is not being played their way for the next four years.
While the current administration is being blocked in any minor way possible by the minority Legislators, Obama has succeeded in making good on many campaign promises. Yet, no matter how quickly he seems to be achieving things, there are those who forget he has been in the White House for such a short time. The Republicans have stonewalled his getting his complete cabinet in place. Media spent more time on the family dog than on what he has achieved for the country in so short a period.
Congress Matters, written by Nathaniel Ament Stone gives an excellent run-down of ten of the first and best achievements. My toast to the country today is: May the whining, sore-losing and divisiveness cease in the VERY near future.
