Go back and read the OP. You are so set to auto-critic that you didn't bother to read that the entire thrust of the post was in reference to the President's SECOND TERM. Hence the name of the thread: "President Obama's Second Term Has Not Yet Begun and the usual folks are already declaring it a disaster"

And I will continue to lobby for We The People.

Wow.

If that didn't sound so laughably pathetic, I'd swear you had delusions of grandeur. As if that's even close to what you're doing, of as if anyone even remotely related to the levers of power read this web site or care about the handful of incessant critics that dwell here.
