What else would you ask from a man would willing take on a fight after 8 years of disaster " ending in an global economic meltdown
which without some hard and smart decision would explode in his face just as he talk office.

His personal and family safety?

&feature=player_embedded#!

Let us not kid our self, American history is reality.



Yes he try very hard on policy. He admit that. But there was a whole load of problems. It is call damage control.
Who make regulation that effect policy. Congress, The House, Potus, you ?

There are 2 kind of people who wants power of the POTUS. One that serve the people and One that serve them self.

Yes Obama is special and yes he will be honored world wide cause he can make a different change the direction of a greedy capitalist world. It is hard to undo the damage of decades of abuse in 4 years or even 8 years and with opposition against every baby step off progress while trying his hardest to prevent further damages from crazy coons empower by the wealthy few.

We build our home over time with love and compassion and some times we forget and become too comfortable we get trap in that bubble and forget the hardwork and sacrifice that is needed to create the home.

The home got destroyed and wrecked, we need to embark on the hard road to rebuild once again. What is lost can be can be rebuild.
But first we must realize what we have lost.

Thank you for posting this video, it's nice to see and relive it for a few moments.
This was one of America's greatest moments, a time when America showed we still have a hope to reach toward our high ideals.

It will be a long hard road. We just cannot afford to slide down any further. Every like gain is one more brick to rebuild the home we used to have.

This, IMHO, was one of the happiest, greatest days of American history....bar none. And it is as if nobody ever gets the reminder. All we get is more depressing 9/11 videos. But not the uplifting, inspiring reminder of the greatest day much of the world has ever seen.

This time fired up should not means fire go out with the slightest set back or I want my issue to be first priory.

When your house is burning what do you save first?
Where do you need to concentrate first to save the burning house?

I hope to enjoy anything like this moment in November. This nation could go forward or be destroyed. That is the choice this year.

2 different road.
2 different future for our future generation.

Such simple choices yet many cannot make a simple decision. Americans had been divided and weaken and now need to clean up from the bottom up. Throw every obstructionist out. That need to be done
