Reply #62: It is not the fault of the people (like myself) that voted Obama in

[winyanstaz]

with as many Democrats as we could that there were already traitors in Congress or that some we put in sold us out..nor is it his.
And yes WE have to try to help..and as Obama himself said...
WE are SUPPOSED TO HOLD HIM TO IT AND MAKE HIM DO IT...
But when some of us try to speak up and insist that he follow through..that he speaks up for we the people instead of the insurance companies and the banks.....we get bitched at.
Are you telling me it is fine that Obama and his legal staff pushed for the Supreme court to say its ok to secretly rendition people still? I thought we voted to change all that and Obama was going to close Gitmo.
Just moving the prisoners to a new prison and denying them trials is NOT change I can believe in.
The Supreme court..ruling on Obamas request says that ANYONE..including Americans can be secretly renditioned and denied their day in court...sorry but that is not change I can believe in....even if thats ok with you for people to be treated that way.
If trying to stand up for the civil rights of everyone is whining and complaining..then I am indeed guilty.
I want him to succeed. I voted for him.
Dang right I have gotten angry at times and even said things in anger in my disappointment BUT I have kept coming back and am still trying to hope it will change.
I want a change in this madness and endless wars and I will continue to be vocal about it and hold his feet to the fire..same as I would ANY president..regardless of their race, religion, party etc.
"My party..right or wrong" was wrong when the repubs did it..it is wrong for us as well. America as a WHOLE has to come first.
Things that were wrong for Bush..are just as wrong for Obama.
I think he can be better than that...he could be the president we all need if he will just stand up for us...and I just want to see it.
