The impressive list of countries that have changed recently read like a fairy tale for the cause of freedom and the right to vote. Yet, the extreme right and even many liberals are not giving our leader his due. Yes, I am disappointed in his economic policies of not focusing on the parts of our country where unemployment is nearing the upper teens to 20%. However, I will give him his due. His election proved that if the people want change, they will get it, as long as they work for it. Whether you voted for Obama or not. You have to admit he has been successful. He pushed his health care and won. Remember when Hillary tried? She lost. It was on Obama's watch that Osama bin Laden was killed. He's the guy who gave the orders to go in. Remember in 2007, candidate Obama said he would go into Pakistan if he thought bin Laden was holding out? And remember, it was Bush, Cheney, Clinton(s), Rice, McCain & Palin along with everyone in the media who said that would be a disaster? Well, he did it. And he won out. No one sided with him on that one. Yet, he did it. That is a sign of a leader. Unfortunately, his leadership is not here for our economy and it shows. Either he gets the message or we are in serious trouble. The problem for the tea party is that they and others like them, wanted Obama to fail in the first place. Even if it meant to take our country down with him. To me, that is more anti American than anything Obama has done or plans to do. So who wins if Obama does not succeed? The people don't and neither will the tea party. Because of the lack of quality candidates on both sides, I predict Obama will win in 2012. However, if our country does not recover during his tenure, his two terms could go down as badly as the President before him. So no one wins.
