IS IT ME?

This will prob­a­bly make a few non-Obama fans mad, but I hope not. I was won­der­ing? Is it just me or is every­one out to nit pick to death any­thing and every­thing Pres­i­dent Obama does? Hello! New pres­i­dent, new rules, thank God!! Yes, he met with a known Amer­i­can hater and dic­ta­tor. Did you not see what I saw? Pres­i­dent Obama looked seri­ous, con­cerned yet respect­ful and ever inch the Pres­i­dent. Is there a law writ­ten that says times can­not change? He is not hand­ing over the united states. He is not com­pro­mis­ing our lives. He met with the man to start a dia­logue. I say it is about time. We need more friends then ene­mies. I am not say­ing trust the man blindly. We all need to work slowly and steadily to restore trust when trust is bro­ken. Some­times it works, some­times it doesn’t. Are we so used to president’s who sit in the oval office send­ing our mem­o­randi­ums and cover sto­ries thru their press sec­re­taries that when we actu­ally have a pres­i­dent step out of the office, take the first step, try to rebuild bridges, and meet with con­tro­ver­sial peo­ple, that we step back in hor­ror and imme­di­ately assume he is not on our side? That we have to find fault with every word, every ges­ture, every nuance, every glance? What is wrong with you peo­ple?? It is the first sum­mit in almost ever that every­one came away with feel­ing like some­thing was accom­plished, that there wasn’t all the riot­ing, that peo­ple who before would have writ­ten us off as snobs are now say­ing, “lets take a look at this?” How can this not be good? A friend of mine recently stated in his blog that Pres­i­dent Obama is “play­ing so far above the rim” that we can hardly stand it. We don’t know what to do. And I for one, agree with him whole­heart­edly. Keep up the amaz­ing work Pres­i­dent Obama. And to you detrac­tors? If you can do bet­ter, time to get your name on the next ballot.
