Is this the President that we Elected?
This is my first attempt at a diary. My beginning disappeared into the ether. But here goes.....
"They" will not compromise. Neither should you do so. "They" did not, nor ever will vote to support you, President Obama.
I am now wondering whether I made the right choice, in hoping rather than seeing the real YOU. Right-of-center. No, I did not vote for Republican-lite. I hoped. I believed. And now I fear.
I fear that you will capitulate to the Republican fear-mongers.
Apparently, you wish to make everybody smile. Grand bargains are worthless unless the "other side" is not cynical as they apparently are cynically trying to CRASH your Presidency.
No! You cannot please all the critics all of the time. Sometimes you must STAND!.
We, the people are depending on you to act for justice and equality. You, President Obama, have not come close to that elusive goal. And, yes, we acknowledge that the minority in the Senate blocks every opportunity for progress. Their avowed goal is to CRASH your Presidency. Is this justice? Is this patriotism? Is this not cynical?
Making friends at this point is without purpose or effect. Call them OUT! The American people are behind you! Let us see some ACTION! Just do it, now!
Alright, I can become pedantic and righteous. However, I am FED UP with Pr. Obama playing "tootsie" with men and women with machetes. This is no time for half-measures.
