CHANGE IS GOOD! TRING TO UNDO IS HARD

An 8 months to 12 months baby has to fall before he or she walks! They still learn with determination.

People has to make mistakes in life before they can learn to correct them, if we don't make a mistake of our own miss out on learning how if feels to make amistake, we will critizie person who makes mistakes and learn from them and how they handle it.

BRAVE PEOPLE TAKES THE FIRST BABY STEPS.

If they don't, we on the outside box, gives our opinion; not even CARING how that person is feeling and their thoughts, but we learn from their mistakes and judge them because its not our error.

How many white presidents that has come through the white house did not make numerous mistakes, some we know of and some we don't. They are still great and acknowledge by both black or white. Why does it looks like white's has more of a choice than blacks.

They are in a country with a mix origin.

If Obama falls through the cracks once in a while he will be a human being like every president that walk through this white house.

His errors still would not mean that he is not their for the people of this country, his failure in arreas would mean that where he failed like those before him, others will view and try, try, try to see if they can make things better.

These will be like promises to vessels where no other presient yonder. SPIN IN 4 YEARS TO WHAT EVERYONE WANTS.

THOSE STATES ARE IN GOD HANDS AND THE OUTSKIRTS OF OTHER COUNTRY WILL BE AFFECTED BASE ON HOW THOSE STATES HANDLE THEIR NEW AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

How's Obama going to pay for his wish list and....

If Obama cuts taxes for 95% of families, how's he going to pay for his very looooooong wish list? And, how am I supposed to believe all he claims he's going to do ,including rebuild our military and give them the equipment they need in battle when he's voted against that already???? He wanted to leave our troops high and dry, w/o funding. Has he flip flopped again??

When he was in Germany he wouldn't even go visit the troops to raise their spirits and show his pride in their sacrifice.

I don't trust him. I don't believe him. He's been in the Senate drawing a paycheck for "working" for 2 years, yet he's not been there 1/2 of that time AND when he is there, he votes, "present" instead of yea or ney. Not very decisive for a leader. I think Sarah is more capable of leading the U.S. than Obama!!
