President Obama isn't anything like Bush, Adam, this man is a family man, the First Lady is busy with her vegetable garden, Grandma is taking care of the children while the First Lady attends to her functions, for me it's like a breath of fresh air to the White House, some real positive changes.
Do you remember before the election the economists mentioned no matter what party won the election it was going to take a 1 - 1½ years to recover from this deep mess we are in. I don't know if you heard the other day the national unemployment record is going down, and they felt a start of a slow recovery, which is great news. I truly feel the man is trying his very best considering the mess he took over, and this would also apply to Senator Mc Cain if he had gotten elected. Personally I am very pleased with President Obama.
As for Bush, I seen what he was when he was campaigning for the first election, I didn't vote for him in the first or second election, didn't vote for his Father either, but not sure the other side was that great either. This is water over the dam and time to move along into the future.
The President did blunder on this one, I seen that live when he made those comments on the Police Department, knew right then and there there was going to be repercussions and there was. He's human, just made a mistake, but hey we are all entitled to have on the job learning lessons. But he was quick with this classic reversed psychology, "let's all have a beer together and discuss this issue," even the Vice President showed up. I thought the whole thing was handled perfectly and certainly defused the issue before it escalated to who knows what. |
