Change You Can... Wish Was Happening

I distinctly remember talking to Ted back when Obama was running for President, and the conversation going something like this:

Ted: People are really excited for him. I think he can do a lot of good.
Me: No doubt. But I am skeptical. I just think he's promising a lot.
Ted: Yeah, but if he does half of what he says, he's still doing some great things.
Me: What if he doesn't do half?

Take a moment to consider what Mr. Obama has done. Write it down even.

Had enough time?

What have you come up with? Because my list just has... more promises. No actions.

I called it back then that people are going to turn on him just like they turned on Bush if he doesn't do what he promised. The American voter is uneducated, fickle, and has a very short memory (should they even vote at all). Well, almost a year into Obama's administration (mind you, with Democratic control over both House and Senate) and he has failed to accomplish much of anything. Now the backlash begins.




Let's see if he can get anything done. Hopefully he does not do anything with gays in the military. What he does not fully grasp is the reasoning behind "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." It is to protect homosexual service members from hate crimes, bigotry, and harm. He wants to open that door, and make it fully disclosed from the outset. Bad idea. You're just going to be opening up the headaches of homosexual tolerance briefs, affirmative action in the military regarding homosexuals, and all sorts of mess that we just don't need to deal with as part of our daily routine to be the world's best. But go ahead and push your democratic/liberal policies to appease your party.
