Reply #72: I have posted before about people wanting it all NOW, NOW, NOW

[Rob Gregory Browne]

And the reaction I've gotten is that nobody's asking for it all right NOW, they just don't like the "direction Obama's heading."

Well, this is a perfect example of Obama heading in the RIGHT DIRECTION. This speech and this event are something no President has done before him. Certainly not within recent memory.

Yet there are those here who obviously don't care about that.

So, please, don't give me the usual "we aren't asking for it now" script. That's exactly what you're asking for. On a number of issues, not just this one. And, unfortunately, that's just not how the world works. EVERYTHING is a compromise. There isn't a politician alive who hasn't had to find a compromise on every issue he or she has tackled.

Things in Washington move slowly. They will always move slowly. And it has nothing to do with who can change what with a stroke of the pen. There are a hundred different factors a President has to consider before he uses that pen. Creating change is always a delicate balancing act.

But from what I can tell, Obama is MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. Certainly in a much better direction than the previous guy.
