Re: Obama camp scrubs website to remove references to mandatory community service
I have to say, this post scares me. It does not sound like we are all Americans. It sounds like we should all go join Todd Palin and try to form a secession group to get ourselves out of the US.
Good heavens--the US and its government have problems, no doubt, but there is a reason that we all live here have not tried to move to a different country (one that is perhaps governed better in some peoples' opinions) and that people in many other countries want to move here.
It's really disturbing to hear that people are waiting for our president to fail. I don't like GWB at all, but I never wanted him to fall on his face, and when people wrongly criticize him, I defend his policies (when people rightly criticize his policies, I will agree, but tend to point out the good parts of them).
My husbands grandparents moved here from Ireland and came here because of the opportunities in this country. For those of you who will say that was a long time ago, we have friends who recently moved here from Croatia to come to a more stable, land of more opportunities. There has to be some good in what our government is doing, or people would be fleeing very quickly.
It doesn't sound like some of you supported McCain, but just dislike Obama for whatever reason.
He is not going to be able to "fix" everything in government, and thankfully did not ever say he could. But, for those anti-Obama folks out there, I sadly think that no matter what he does accomplish, they will focus on what he did not.
Give him a break. He has not even begun his presidency!
