I have to wonder at the patience factor in this country. With the new administration working so hard but only in office for 3 weeks, why is the media and so many people so insistent that we have immediate END results? It took YEARS to get us in this mess (partly because of the stupid methods Republicans have used) and it's NOT going away overnight.
I am thrilled that Obama and his administration have worked so hard and so fast in just 3 weeks.
I want to see the new policies and solutions work and I know it will take some time. In addition to that, we have to have confidence! We are just as much a part of the problems at hand. I think the "fear factor" has gotten to us a little too much. Let congress know we have confidence this will all turn around.
One important thing for us to do is keep our faith, hope, patience, determination and make this all work! We hated the Repubs fear tactics during the elections...don't let them get to us now. At least Obama is doing something which is much much more than Republicans in Congress or Bushy did in 8 years!
As I watched C-Span2 during the Senate debates, I laughed at the absolutely ridiculous arguments the Repubs were making and their comparisons...while I was too young to remember Eisenhower, I DO remember from JFK to today. Be very careful about what you read and hear from the Repubs...they're twisting a lot of information to suit their need to get the Republican PAC money for their next elections...many of them are NOT voting according to the people who elected them. Wasn't that obvious to you when TOO MANY Republicans voted against it as one big "block"???? I'm not one for polls, but CNN even wondered about the voting since the polls showed 32% of Republicans (citizens) approved the stimulus package as well as some governors who're Repubs, yet why did less than 1% of Congress vote for it. The numbers don't add up at all.
Patience and careful research is in order right now before we become too critical. I am thrilled with Obama's first 3 weeks.
The Republican Party is still falling apart...let's not let the Democratic Party be like "those guys".
