Cool Hand Obama

by Rhonda Chriss Lokeman

It'll be great to have in the White House a president who can finish The New York Times puzzle. Our president-elect never would say, as did Dubya, "Is our children learning?"

Could be that the Harvard-educated Barack Obama doesn't waste his Ivy League sheepskin because his family, as most families do, scraped to send him to college. His college loans were paid off only after his first book became a best-seller.

No sign of sacrifice in the Yale-educated Bush World, thou ...

Ma'am;... The question is not whether our children is learning and I assure you they is, though not all that is taught to them. The real question is whether government is learning only because its head has been replaced... I mean, people are talking about the choice of Rob Emanuel as evidence to the Jewish community that Mr. Obama stands with them... There is a good sign that Mr. Obama is looking for a second term, but unless he is willing to put all on the line for change, his life, his future, his reputation, and his party, -to change all; when will change happen??? Some times people need the will to bet all on a single throw of the dice, and they need to pray to God the dice are not loaded...Presidents, if they recognize the need for change should not be half essed about it... They can either turn things completely around or count on things being turned back at the first opportunity... Where is the square deal or the new deal??? All air, and all promise, and all gone... What was said of the Bourbon Kings should be remembered by all presidents and political leaders: that they forgot nothing, and learned nothing... If they learn nothing more, they should learn that the need for change that swept them into office can sweep them out again... Some day, if the need for change is too long denied, the whole form of government might be swept away on a wave of venom... I do not doubt that some will appoint themselves to spoil the presidency of Mr. Obama.... Clearly, Mr, Obama has a rough road ahead... Let us hope he takes a lesson from the election to bend every effort toward saving this nation, and reforming the government so it works for the people, and to this end, that he shines a light on obstructionism, and points a finger at self serving treason... Unity is a hard goal to reach... It will not be reached by kissing up to the right... It will be reached by making government work for all the citizens...Success is the best salesman.. Nobody buys excuses... We have already had an ear full of those.. ... Thanks...Sweeney
