Folks are so busy arguing over who did what first, whos fault this and that problem is...that nothing gets fixed. Our problems dont lay at the Republican's feet, they don't lay at the Democrat's feet, and they certainly don't lay at President Obama's feet... It's everyones fault. It is our own greed, our selfishness, and our inability to work together to solve a problem that has landed us in this mess. The only way any of it is ever going to get fixed is if we all work together, democrats and republicans and independents.
I am definitely not President Obama's biggest fan, but I will say one thing for him. HE DID SOMETHING. Yes, he also did his fair share of laying blame and hiding behind that; but he did SOMETHING to try and fix what he saw as the problems we face. The people elected him to do what he stated he wanted to do as he was running for office, and that is what he did. You can pretty much go down the list of his campaign promises and see that he has worked to fulfill at least partially almost every one of them...is that not why we elect folks????? We get mad at politicians for not doing what we elected them to do, but now we are mad at President Obama for trying to do exactly what he said that he would do. And the fact that republicans dont like Obama really has little to do with what color he is, and a lot to do with the fact that he has a D next to his name. Wouldn't matter if he were a blond haired, blue eyed, high powered white executive type, so long as he is a democrat, republicans wont like him and wont support him. Wow, no wonder we have issues.
The only thing this election says to me is this... Many Americans are still out of work and struggling, and right or wrong they feel that it is Obama's fault, so they voted for the other guys. I think all we got from this election is more of the same. It was exciting to watch, but unfortunately I don't really expect to gain anything. Republicans will still be blaming democrats and democrats blaming republicans ... but I certainly hope I am wrong. I hope that we as a country and our leaders have had enough bickering and pandering and decide that it is time to actually come together and do something to fix the issues our country and our people face. But I am not holding my breath.
