Nice job sir, I really agree. I didn't vote for the guy, but I think he has the potential to be really great, and I'm hoping he comes through. He's not exactly walking into an easy situation....
 

okay. i'm not gonna lie. i am not one to celebrate when her friends are sounding worried and apprehensive, i promise. and i'm not really "celebrating", but i'm feeling a smidge vindicated. i should probably tell you first and foremost that i wholeheartedly agree with you that "buster" needs to deliver. like him or not, he is our president. this is the first year *in my life* i have ever considered myself an *american* (i have always had one foot one one side of the equator and the other here in the u.s...generally too ashamed of u.s. politics to call myself a "patriot"). barry o had my attention for a long while there at the beginning. besides being a fine looking man, he is no dummy, and i was willing to jump at the chance to cast my vote for "change" and to see a person of color in office. let's *redefine* america, i said. i won't get into the reasons and the ways he lost me...but like i told my five year old in november - i'm not following him into the wilderness! i didn't believe a word he was saying...though i did believe his intentions (the marxist in me saw this one crystal clear).


plain and simple - he's got a lot of people behind him, and he's trying to make a new way, but right now, i feel like he's wandering a little bit. scrambling, talking out of turn, not speaking up when necessary, making poor judgement calls, shaking hands with mentally ill and hate filled enemies...it's not a recipe for success. but i will keep my fingers crossed for him as genuinely as you will...
