Now we need hope for Obama's hope

It has nearly been a year since Obama took power. It was not a fingernail result like when Gore won and then apparently didn't win back in 2000 - yes b4 9/11. Obama won in style, even in some "red" states. (insert your own insult here about red states). But today, in Mass the so-called democratic stronghold, a republican nobody (well he has a truck) won Ted Kennedy's seat that he only held for 47 years. (Mini-series movie idea - Kennedy campaigned most of his life for health care reform and because of his death and a republican win - it appears as if the bill will be even worse then it is now, if anything at all).

Which brings us back to Obama. If you read the news and I hope you do, unless you are happy then I would recommend not reading the news - it gets in the way - you may have noticed that whatever Obama does is critically examined, questioned, and analyzed more then any other president in history.

Message to American brothers and sisters - what the fuck is going on in your country. It is like everyone in the country has forgotten eight years - yes eight years of republican policy, two wars and a financial crisis. Do you really believe a new president elected a year ago is expected to come in and end two wars and bring the country out of debt in a year? What planet are you guys on - the planet of microwave change - instant policy oatmeal, twittered national solutions. Give the guy some time for God's sake.

Sure the health care bill sucks - but hey why not thank Liebermann for that- look closely he looks remarkably like a weasel. Remember the public option would have been in the senate bill and would have passed if it werent for him. Do not forget this. Obama could push more, but then again, he does not have absolute power - which is a myth that many Americans forget - perhaps because it did not seem that way during the "good old years" of Bush Cheney or should I say Cheney Bush.

However questions need to be asked. Where is Obama - the hope Obama - the Obama who said things were going to change - did they get to you - did they threaten your family - because you have changed and are playing a different game - if your going to lose anyway why not go full force?

Obama you need to accept this Brown guy's challenge to a basketball game and kick his ass, then Liebermanns, Wall Street and the insurance companies and all of those other corrupt bastards that are shackling you from real progressive agenda that you have to harbour inside if you truly understand what compassion is. Then we will then again have hope for your hope - instead of a 2012 looking like another bad dream of despair.



P.S. The really scary thing is GW Bush also had a truck and so does Sarah Palin.
