Sir;... Your crew cannot at once accuse Mr. Obama of being radical, and then run him down for putting a brake on expectations of change... They all promise some change, and that is a problem, that realistically they cannot change all, and must save some change for a second term... And they must go slow, because any change that goes too far, and gets too out of control is likely to spoil a chance of a second term.... But, if you get my point; no one can count on a second term, and if we cannot really wait for fundamental change, then putting it off even for a minute may well prove to be a mistake... If Mr. Obama is your average leader he will not lead further than he is pushed, and no one can lead where the people will not go...He would not have gotten elected if he were realistic...Mr. Jimmy Carter showed what happens to realistic leaders... And Mr. Obama could hardly have expected to be elected by ONLY pointing out the obvious, that his election was a change from Mr. Bush, while Mr. Mccain was not... Part of our problem is that when we vote for people, which is the extent of the democracy we are allowed, then we get people, and people are what they are, lazy, cowardly, and corrupt... But, we are ready for change and What the people express is what the Muslims say, that if you would change the world first change yourself... Anyone who has tried to change their own behavior as practiced for years realizes how difficult change is... But when huge numbers, having no reason what so ever to give any black person the slightest acknowledgement as a human being votes for one, and elects him president, then they have demonstrated both the need for change and the abilityto change, and that means they are looking for change, and desparate for change to a vast degree...I think the people should hold Mr. Obama's feet to the fire... I think they ought to go, and hurry him along... I don't know why you would...You perhaps, want to paint him as a hypocrite, and actor... I would let that slide if I were you... Being me, I do not expect much... People are realistic... They do not go to bed because they are promised the sun and the moon for love, and do not wake up looking for a title... Other consideration are at work...And still, they cannot deny their own basic needs that have been deferred for generations.. And if the economy spirals out of control, it is liable to hurt this people as they have never known and never expected, and it will likely change the whole political and social landscape, and all human relationships forever... I am ready, I think.. I have been looking for revolution since a child... Perahps many people have... But great masses of people do not join with change except out of absolute and undeniable need for change... The question for you might then become, Why does Mr. Obama not stop change... You can see him dragging his feet on change, which means he is taking your side... Let him... Help him... Do not give him a hard time for standing with you... Welcome him, because it means he is not with us, and no revolutionary radical... Count your blessings, because if it was me, I might turn the population loose on the rich like a pack of dogs on a pound of rotten meat...Thanks...Sweeney
