[Major Hogwash]

15. So now you know.

That last picture with Bush and President Obama says it all . . one was playing President, while the other one, Obama, is actually BEING the President.

Remember clear back to 1978 when people running for high office didn't criticize the foreign policy that the current President was employing in some far off country after the Vietnam War was over?
And then former Governor Reagan lambasted President Carter for his policy regarding the American hostages that were held in Iran in 1980.
Years before that, when the Vietnam War was raging non-stop, Reagan had said that criticism should end at the water's edge of our shores.

Nevertheless, every single one of those American hostages wound up being released and returned to American soil . . physically unharmed.
Sometimes, when people discuss the Iran Hostage situation, they tend to forget that very important, underlying fact.

And remember how people said you were a traitor if you didn't support the President when he started the Iraq War after Bush began his invasion of Iraq with his completely stupid "Shock and Awe" bombing campaign?
I watched some of the tv news reports that night, and I wound up sobbng to myself because I knew it was the biggest mistake that Bush would ever make in his time in the White House.
Which is why I worked so hard in 2004 to get him out of the White House and get John Kerry elected President.

And then I worked my ass off in 2008 to get President Obama elected to be our President, just as much for the policies he stood for, but also to keep McCain out of the White House to prevent McCain from carrying with a 3rd Bush term totally unhindered, concerning foreign policy.
And I worked hard in 2012 to keep President Obama in the White House in order to keep the policies in place and keep the agenda that Obama had started going, as much I did to keep Romney out of the White House to prevent him from doing gawd knows what.

Now that 2014 is upon us, and some people are already voting for the mid-term election in some areas of our great nation, I want to take a moment to thank everyone else for working so hard to get President Obama elected in the first place, and for keeping President Obama in the White House.

It has been a struggle, to be sure.
But, it has been a magnificent 6 years.
So much has been done already.

And yet, there is so much more to do.
The struggle continues.
Don't ever give up hope.
