4. And that's been his goal all along.
I don't believe for one minute that he became President to help the 'little people'. He did it to become one of the 'beautiful' people. He likes those A list parties.

I would actually like a President that looked to help the majority of the people in the US, and not the top 5%. Sorry, but celebrating our President's rock star status, does not help those that are suffering here in the US. A lot of people believed his campaign 'promises', too bad it hasn't trickled down to the masses at the bottom of the financial ladder. I'm buying my tent before the rush. The way this guy is handling the country, many more will be looking for real estate in a tent city.

5. While I understand the 'problem' (and it's a big one)...
Edited on Mon May-23-11 06:49 PM by Amonester
I can't imagine how bigger the 'problem' will become if his 2012 republican opponent is ever to be ($)elected like the 2000 one was.

If that happens, though, what will it take then for the 'tens of millions more' to finally 'take to the streets' in order to DEMAND change? :shrug:

Unfortunately, it's the only way that 'change' could ever happen, IMHO.

6. True, but the media wouldn't report it.
That is one of the biggest problems. It's something that neither Obama nor the dems have even considered correcting. They are doing very well (thank you very much) with the way the media is being run. Believe it or not, there are some who still don't know that there were BIG war protests, in a number of major cities. Go out and ask any one who Cindy Sheehan is, and they will give you a blank stare.

Unfortunately, the only way media will take notice, is if there is violence, and there better be a pretty blond woman some where in the mix, or all bets are off.
