The American people knew that the Republican Party would give President Obama a hard way to go, but to have your own family of Democrats give you a hard time, and not back you for doing what you promised that you would do, is akin to gay people having their parents and relatives not accept who they are and turning their back on them in their time of need.

America needs to grow up and education themselves, and stop refusing to play the game just because the outcome is taking longer that they want. The American people need to ask themselves one question; were they satisfied when they were losing their children in a war, which the Bush administration created from a lie and invaded a people who had done us no harm?

America needs to understand that President Obama is what he is, an African-American Person of Color, a Black man, who is not going to ever become a White man. For some reason so many millions were on his side before the election of 2008, but when they found out that he wasn't Moses and couldn't divide their Red Sea, then the Republican Party, along with the Tea Party became the devil's advocates. Many politicians began trying to sway some Democratic Party members to their way of thinking; I believe some have been swayed, though they haven't changed their Party. It's almost like the Republican Party is making side wagers and promising things on the sly in order to sway folks; the devil does those things when he wants to trick you into giving up your vote; Bush did it and McCain and the Republican Party tried using Sarah Palin to lie in order to trick the American people again. America was stupid for 8 long years; they don't ever need to be that stupid again.

One might say that writing has become my fondest passion; it is a love that always gives, and one that I feel comfortable sharing. I write because writing has become the voice in which I can speak to many people, share experiences, stories and (more...)
