The State of The Union

"Saying no to everything may be good short term politics, but it is not leadership" I couldn't have said it any better my self. Pundits say that he should veto any bill that doesn’t have bipartisan support, but in order for that to happen, Bi Partisanship has to be more than a slogan. It was said that some people think that if he loses, America will still win; I disagree, if Barack Obama fails, so does America, and so does the Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. If you think that because you on the left or right side of the boat, that only one side is going to sink, you have another thing coming. We must sink or swim together. I challenge all people to get involved in the process, and do your own research, and stop listening to sound bites on your local news. Many disagree with the stimulus package, the republicans say it was a bad idea, and we now are in debt to the tune of $100k, per household, well at the end of 1994 we had a surplus, and in 8 small years we were back to a deficit due to the spending of none other than George Bush.John Mccain says that hes trying to BIOB "Blame it on Bush" I am not blaming Bush for this, but what I am simply pointing out is that Obama walked into the mess, he is just trying to clean it up. The first stimulus went into effect before Bush was out of office, was it a bad idea than, cause at the time it was under a republican rule If it was a good, idea than, I ask what has changed? The stock market, gas prices and economy was in shambles, under who's watch I ask?  In the first 6 months of his office he created 650K thousand jobs throughout the USA, and four months later the number has seemed to almost double. One year ago President Barrack Obama gave his inauguration speech after campaigning on CHANGE, HOPE and a NEW DAY!! Today I seen on the news a story of a man who was born in 1980 and his birth certificate listed his race as Negroid, when the parents attempted to get it changed the state of Texas declined and said that Negroid was the legal term at the time of his birth. But to the contrary the term was banished in 1977, across the country; however change took them a few extra years. I said all of that to say, it takes some a little longer to get on board and in order for real change to occur, we must first acknowledge that we are on the same ship!!!
