President Obama,then candidate Obama, has always counciled us that change would not be easy.
Brian Williams asked President Obama is change too hard, which is ludicrous. Of course change is hard and difficult. This President Obama has always said. However, the seeds of change are being sowed. The Obama Administration’s plan to cap executive salaries and his willingness to say "I screwed up", is change we can believe in, don’t let the GOP tell you otherwise, as they do not want change!
The GOP pretend to care so deeply about the stimulus, when it is patently obvious and a derelict of their duty to the public, that the GOP are working furiously for the next elections and not the peoples’ economic crisis looming so large at this time. Some Republican Pundits charged with this task, call the Stimulus a stinking corpse, before it is even born, instead of what it is — a valuable work in progress for this country.
Like any creation, in the early stages, it is chaos and not fully formed, such as a fetus, a painting, any work of art, and yet the artist ploughs on knowing the beauty to be eventually created. Why in the world, would some Pundits criticize the early form instead of giving support, is beyond the pale, especially when they know to publically criticize it is to get the ball rolling to derail it. May be they do not love this country more than their party affiliation! These pundits sit in their high-paying jobs, so lofty, and pick apart every little thing someone says or does, Wears...., with nothing good to say, like their word is God or gold — as they no longer report the news but give their Opinions about the news. There was a time when we were taught as Americans, if you have nothing good to say about anyone, say nothing at all. We have lost that. These Pundits are a part of the problem and not the solution.
At this critical stage in our rapidly-crumbling economy, it would seem that the Republican Senators would do everything they can to do something, to tell the American people, I am on your side, and not always to quickly say no to the middle class and the little people; no to schools, education, infra structure, green jobs, all of which have too long been denied and neglected and Yet, always yes to the Special Interest Groups, to wars, to big oil and their tax breaks.
It is a sad fact that for average American citizens, the GOP is becoming the party of NO! For Gosh Sake, they turn to Joe the Plumber for advice and direction!!! We can not depend on the GOP to help us, or to be honest and ethical. They cry out for "instant" change from a dogmatic beauracray set in its own ways by men who do not want to lose their power. Does one get a college degree in a week, a month or a year? Does a seed develop into a plant overnight? President Obama has been in office a little over two weeks and they pretend they want miracles. It has been over 2000 years since Jesus Christ asked us to love one another, to do good to one another, to be our brother's/sister's keeper. Although grounds have been made, sadly we have a long way to go, for again, change does not come easy.
In 2010, we will know what to do! Vote Democratic....
