Proud To Be An American

From January 19, 2010;



I loved watching the President take one Republican talking point after another and without hesitation, answer with conviction and state his purpose while returning the fire. Yet again, asking for cooperation from a room full of do-nothings, but this time laying on the line. This has to be the best hour I've spent in quite some time. This is something certainly that his predecessor could not do; think and speak on his feet in a room full of political opponents, all by himself. Cons whine and complain about being left out of the process, when that's exactly what they were doing when they held the government firmly in their grip under Bush. They did it their way and now America is suffering the results. Tax cuts do little to keep people working and do wonders to create mind boggling deficits while a few profit ungodly amounts.

I've lived the conservative mantra, locally and nationally, seen it's results know that it is wrong for this country. Again and again it's proven to me and yet the Republicans while foaming at the mouth aggressive on the attack, turn into pathetic whining sore losers who are more concerned about the well being of their party than the country they love so much when they are called out. Pathetic Fox News wouldn't cover the whole Q&A, cutting away during the discussion, later bad mouthing about his treatment of those poor white folk. Obviously it made Republicans look very bad, but I think they stopped showing it because the typical Fox viewer would lose interest after a few minutes, and Obama took thrashed them for over an hour. Most wouldn't be able to stick with anything that long unless it were a stock car race anyways.

It's been a damn long time since I've felt proud of my country and I applaud my president!
