i used to be anti-obama, mostly because i thought he was all talk.
which, don't get me wrong, obama's smooth operator appeal is undeniable.
he's a great speaker, is a wonderful father & husband, and has a progressive approach.
but my chief concern was that he lacked in getting things done.
HOWEVER
what i hadn't considered in entirety is why he can't get anything done.
republicans.
they all shop around their glossy soundbites of: obama has failed us, obama hasn't done this & that, obama hasn't solved our problems.
they certainly caught my ear. america is in trouble. no question.
but let's take it past obama. after all - he can't single-handedly decide the fate of our country.
oh yeah, congress. they're a part of this mess, too. a big part.
time after time, they stop him from going forward. on everything. on anything.
they want to stop his momentum toward solving problems. they are the obstacle.
republicans want america to stumble, stop, and regress during obama's presidency so that
and this is big
so they can check mark his failures with their big, red pens - then spew to america how they're going to change things when they are president.
selfish. detrimental. destructive.
unacceptable.
sabotaging america today so that they can get elected tomorrow?
it's sickening.
obama may not be perfect, but at least he is acting in our best interest - not reacting in self-interest. he has a vision for a better america and it's more than anything any republican has offered in my lifetime.
PS. this is not new information.
i've just had enough.
