Is the Honeymoon for Obama Over?

Yesterday I spent a lot of time reading various news sites, from Huffington Post to World Net Daily and everything inbetween.

First of all this is not a you lost we win thing. This is a wake up call to every politician elected and seeking re-election, that no seat is guaranteed, no seat is 'safe'.

When Obama campaigned for the White House and ultimately the presidency, he made a lot of promises, he raised the level of expectations that the voters had for him, that he could produce change. Well a year into his term, things are looking worse, and now he can't continue to blame Bush, or anyone else for that matter, he has to look at HIS actions. He needs to look at what he has done, and congress has done.

Someone said on a forum that I belong to said that the Democratic party should get tough and aggressive, and right now I don't think that's the answer. The election this past Tuesday for Senator Kennedy's seat shows that getting aggressive will not help. And that vote shows that no matter who you are, or what party you belong to your seat isn't guaranteed. Conservative Liberals may very well swing their vote to a flat out no on health care, in fear of becoming the Next Martha Coakley.

Getting aggressive isn't the answer. Lets look back to Clinton, and I despise Clinton. He went through some unpopularity when he pushed health care reform during his first term, seats were lost to GOP because of it. But, as much as I don't like Bill Clinton as a politician, he worked in small steps to gain trust of Congress, of both parties, and things got accomplished. Getting aggresive and trying to force votes isn't going to help either party. Yes Obama could learn from Bill Clinton's actions, I think a lot of people could. But to get that kind of cooperation, politicians, ALL parties, need to size down the egos from the President on down to the junior senators and especially some of the senior senators. Respect needs to be given when a person is on the floor speaking his or her mind about health care reform. Because, Yes, we can do it better!

The chants of yes we can to that statement by Scott Brown, had to be heard by Congress, by the President, and its a definite statement that the voters want change, that health care reform is not the issue, its how its done. People don't want new taxes that they can't afford to pay for health care. We don't want to be paying for illegal immigrants health care any more than we want to be paying for them to be on welfare, or receive Social Security benefits. People don't want to be told when to die, and loved ones don't want to see people they love and care about not get treatment. Yes we can do it better and I urge Congress and Barack Obama to work together to figure out how to make it better.

The News networks can no longer ignore the protests, the town hall meetings, the tea parties, they can no longer say that because we disagree we are racist, its more than that. Obama can no longer ignore it either, because if he does, he will be, WILL BE, a one termer.

He promised so much that he just can't deliver. And Americans don't like a president that apologizes, and seems to side with the opposition. And if Barack Obama does not see that, he will see it come the next election, because many people are counting down the days to that next election and voting him out of office.

This Special Election is a wake up call to all politicians! Not just the GOP, or Democratic Party but to EVERY politician holding office......
Listen to the people you represent, or you will be voted out!
