I am not foolish enough to think that President Obama is doing everything exactly right or that he has made no mistakes. However, at this point in the game, we cannot afford to publically turn on him, embarrass him or allow any former supporters to hear our criticisms in the media and not fully support him. Hearing negative media clips about President Obama from Black “leaders”, discourages the average Obama voter and may cause them to lose hope and not vote in 2012. I can understand the frustration BUT now is not the time for public criticisms. It is time for solidarity and a united front for 2012. ,
President Obama was doing very well and making great progress when he took office. Less than six months in office, President Obama restored our reputation with the World. Before then, it was not safe for Americans to go outside of the United States because of the previous Republican Regime. He kept us from entering the second and probably greatest depression in our country’s history. Yes, we incurred some debt as a nation, but President Obama’s decisions kept us out of a depression and moving forward. He passed the greatest Health Care bill in the history of our nation. Presidents since Teddy Roosevelt had been trying to do that, President Obama succeeded. He brought down Osama bin Laden in less than three years and without an unfounded war.
Since the 2010 election, the new tea party extremists have attempted what Rush Limbaugh has called for since President Obama took office, the failure of our government and the Obama presidency. Well, our president has not failed. Because people who elected President Obama felt that once he was elected, they would be OK or others did not get the things on their Obama “Christmas list” as if he were Santa Claus; they sat on their hands and did not vote in 2010. This allowed the republican extremists to be elected. And since their election all they have done is say no to anything suggested or put in motion by President Obama or the democrats and have tried to cut funding for any program that helps those who cannot help themselves, education or any regulation of big business, such as the oil rig that exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. They have been nothing but obstructionists! The reason these people are in office is due to the lack of action on the part of people that originally supported president Obama, no one showed up to vote for democrats in the 2010 election, especially in Alabama.
If the people who originally supported President Obama do not stop being critical of his decisions, and find a way to come together again and support this Great President that we elected, the very people that elected president Obama will cause him to not be reelected. If present Obama is not reelected in 2012 we as individuals as the working class, the backbone of this country will be enslaved by big business and the Republican Party after the 2012 election.
Please talk to your family, friends and neighbors, contact Tavist Smiley, Cornell West and any others that are being publicly critical of the President and tell them, we must unite! It is too late to point out Our President’s problems. The republicans have done that since 2008. Right now, more than ever, we must appreciate the fact that we have a president that has character and integrity and is on our side and on the side of character and integrity above all.
To do anything else at this point is political suicide for those of us that value our freedom and hope for a government that is concerned about everyone, not just the wealthy and big business. It is very frustrating, but not shocking to see these would be leaders playing right into the hands of the enemy. The way to win, the way to help the people of the United States is not to kick our leader when he is being kicked by our enemies. The way to win is to lift up and support our leader in his time of need and serve him to the best of our ability while advising him in private.
Again in 2012, if we do not RE elect president Obama and elect every democrat up for election regardless of their record, we have no hope for the future, except in God.
