Does anyone remember the year 2008? If you have faulted Obama for some hiccup since then, some slight, that is on you. I’ll tell you what we saw that August, beginning in Denver and leading up to the November election, and beyond. We saw a man who believed in himself and believed in this country. We saw a man who had come from the island state adrift in the Pacific and come to our shores to tell us a story of ourselves we had not heard in a while. We saw a man devoted to his family, one grounded in love.
As the 2012 election approaches, the stakes are high. On the right, what do we find? Bickering and politics-of-old, and the insidious trickery of words used to dupe an inattentive electorate. What do have in the Oval Office? What have we had in that office since the beginning of 2009? Honesty and integrity, confidence and transparency, and love. Gulp. President Obama has been governing with love in his heart… In short we have an antidote to all the craziness, all the confusion which swirls around Congress and the geopolitical sphere.
We would do well to look at the accomplishments of Obama over the last two and a half years, and compare that to Mr. W. Bush’s eight. Maybe we would find something to be proud about.
