I did not vote for Barack Obama. A lot of people did, but the did not see what I saw, still, they are now understanding. There is a lot of things said about our President but many of them are slanderous lies created from ignorance and racism. Those were expected. I am not speaking against anyone. I am simply observing and weighing possibilities for myself.

I did not vote for Obama because he was too good a politician. Yes his values are admirable and his story inspiring. But that is not what I want in a President. I want someone with a backbone and fighting spirit. Not fighting in a war like sense. A spirit endowed with courage and conviction with a will to do what needs to be done. Someone who will be steadfast and forthright in his decisions. A doer.
President Obama is a great man and has done wonders for equality in this country. Though many don'y agree and will do their best to bring him down, I think he is doing the best he can. I still do not think this is enough though.
We need a President not a Politician. Someone who will lead with the conviction Bush had, just a bigger brain and a better goal. Someone who will stand by his morals, but for the right reasons this time. If Barack wants to do good for this country, he must do it. Cut the shit and do it. You can not please everyone, even everyone in one party. Diplomacy has its uses, but action is needed in emergencies. We are in an emergency. I just hope he realizes it in time to make the most of his presidency. That his potential for good is not overshadowed by bickering and partisan politics. That real improvement will come. I hope it will.
