After watching months and months of republican hate being thrown around by the tea party, eric cantor, sarah palin, michelle "the nut", john "the orange", and every other kind of racist pig, I refuse to give up on the President. I stood among the crowd the day he was sworn in with a heart filled with HOPE that this country was actually going to change. Change from the dire future we were headed for when bush2 was president. Financial ruin, internationally hated, and domestically weak is where we were and there was no HOPE. Obama comes along and feeling around the world became brighter. Here we are almost 3 years from that day and I STILL BELEIVE!!!
I do not know what news programs others have been watching but here is what I have seen since that cold winter day:
1) The republicans have not vowed to help the country, they have vowed to bring down the President and they do not mind if the country FAILS along with him.
2) The republicans have no plan of their own to help the middle-class but they have many things that whay want to do that will KILL the middle-class
3) Racism has now become more main-stream in politics.
4) The republicans have stopped any kind of legislation that is deemed helpful to the country because it will make Obama look good
5) I have watched old white republican people lose their minds because there is a BLACK man in the WHITE house. People that I have know for years have changed to someone from back in the 50's.
6) I have watched blacks act like the President should show up at there door and ask what he can do for them personally.
7) I have watched blacks in congress (Maxie) turn on the President instead of continuing to help him. Knowing what the republicans are trying to do I would think you would have been smarter.
8) I have watched as congress has given more and more to the rich while trying to kill unemployment for regular folks.
9) I have watched the country again fall into the hopelessness of the george2 years all over again.
10) I have watched Wall st and the big corporations rebound with record profits while at the same time laying off thousands. Where is the money?????
But at the same time Mr. President, I have seen you try and make government work by compromising, to no avail. I have seen people call you every name in the book and you still continue to FIGHT for all Americans who can't fight for themselves. I have seen you stand firm in the face of terror and KILL Bin Laden. I have seen you be MY PRESIDENT!!!
I have seen you work extremely hard to accomplish the things you promised. In normal times you would have been able to do so much more. But these are not normal times, there is a BLACK man in the WHITE house. When the other party has only one objective, for you and everything you try and do to fail, then the fight is so much harder. I know who you are working for, ME, and I appreciate EVERYTHING you have done and will do in the future. I have always been an independent voter but after the last 3 years of crap I have seen I do not every think I can vote for a republican. Politicians on a whole cannot be trusted, but I TRUST YOU Mr. President because You are still the HOPE this country needs.
Thank GOD for Mr. Barack Obama!!!
