Obama cannot bring change to Washington without being a challenging and transformative personality.
Obama cannot give us the change we need if every decision he makes is going to be dictated by what conventional wisdom deems to be the middle (and by conventional wisdom I mean those just slightly left of the hosts of "Fox & Friends").
Obama cannot deliver if the people who elected him to office are reluctant to vigilantly offer constructive criticism, skepticism, and dismay as he tiptoes through the tulips---and by tulips, I mean, conservative Democrats and Republicans.
How can anyone demand people give Obama a chance and stand by as he creates gridlock in government by bending over backwards to look bipartisan?
Trying to bring people who were defeated at the polls in November along with him so those people can obstruct, decry, and veto Obama's policies is lunatic. When one wins an election, he or she should run the damn country especially when the policy changes on the table are changes that were campaigned on during the election.
Unfortunately, much of what Obama is doing was done by Bush during his presidency. Obama is choosing continuity over controversy ("No Drama" Obama). It may have something to do with his background with the Democratic machine in Chicago.
So, why not be angry and critical toward Obama when he sends troops to continue the "war on terror" in Afghanistan like Obama supporters would have been when Bush was in power?
Why not fight for some kind of accountability and responsibility? It may be a lost cause with this cast and crew running the show, but without the uproar toward corporations and government officials suspected of crimes and misdemeanors, this country will make the institutionalization of lawlessness permanent. (It's already temporarily taken hold).
