Yes We Can! Long Island 2012It has been a long year and a half since President Obama was inaugurated in the cold winder of 2009 – a great deal has changed.
The minimal response I received from a piece I wrote this past weekend regarding “Superman” and the sad fact that many have just recently realized, of his humanity, and yet the future can still look very bright, was greeted with little feedback. Not a single comment on this website, and only 4 on the Daily Kos.
I do not blame anyone for this malaise we all are apparently feeling with our President, but we must start getting some perspective on our future or it will turn out very dire.
Friday’s OpEd by Paul Krugman helps lay out the current state of affairs very well. I suggest you give it a read.
Curbing Your Enthusiasm

Why does the Obama administration keep looking for love in all the wrong places? Why does it go out of its way to alienate its friends, while wooing people who will never waver in their hatred?

I have been feeling the same angst, frustrations and disappointments detailed in the Krugmanarticel. We are between a rock and a hard place, do we show our anger by staying home in November and not voting or do we go to the polls, vote and hope that our Democrats hold their position of Majority. I will vote and will vote for the Democrats, but somehow our President must be put on notice that he works for us, those who got him elected, that non- partisanship is out the window, that he and his Administration will be railed against by the GOP mean spirited bullies so do the right thing Mr. President. Bullies must be dealt with, cowering and giving in only fuels their fire.
