If the president does not come out in STRONG SUPPORT of the PUBLIC OPTION in his speech tonight, I will no longer be a Obama supporter. This is NOT what we worked for! The war still drags on, there is no more regulation of the banks or Wall Street than there was before and it's business as usual with Obama's blessing. Now if he won't stand up and fight for the people who worked so hard to put him in office and support what we want, a STRONG PUBLIC OPTION, let's work for someone else. Howard Dean, Bernie Sanders, Dennis Kucinich someone with some guts! This is NOT the change we worked our asses off for, this is business as usual and I won't be a part of it. You disappoint me mr. president.
your fellow in hope, jl
I have been an Obama fan since I first read his book "The Audacity of Hope" in 2006. I was so impressed by his speech at the Democratic Convention when nobody knew who he was, that I looked into finding out more about him and read his books. This is the person we need to run this country I thought. I then sent my son to Occidental College where Barack started his studies and advised my son to follow in Baracks footsteps. I told my son then that Obama just might be the next president of the United States. A short two years later it looks like my muse might have a chance to come true. Let us dare to HOPE ! If we all work hard, it can come true.
