Well, Folks...
A week has passed since Barack Obama made history. Our new President made a lot of campaign promises to get elected. Now, he has to make good on ALL of them. Otherwise, his Presidency will be short and the Democrat's hold on Congress will be even shorter. As it stands now, Obama must:
1) Get our troops out of Iraq and leave a stable, pro-western and democratic government in charge and able to stand up for themselves. If we pull out before those conditions are not met, and either Iran or Al-Queda roll in and take over, every American we lost there will be in vain. It won't be another Vietnam as anti-war groups claim...It will be worse.
2) End our addiction to foreign oil and establish energy independence. The problem is that he also promised the environmentalist lobbies that drilling for our own oil, developing clean coal and building new nuclear power plants would not be options. Obama needs to wake up and face reality on this one.
3) Bolster our economy back to prosperity while still taxing corporate America into total collapse. Not to mention keeping his word not to raise taxes on individuals making less than $250 thousand a year.
Making promises on the campaign trail is one thing. Now President Obama has to keep them. He won't have the Republicans to blame if anything goes wrong. The Democrats will be in charge of Congress and will not be able to cite GOP interference. The American people will be watching and will accept NO EXCUSES. 2010 is a lot closer than 2012 and the Republicans will be waiting to retake Congress in the Mid-Term elections. As for Barack Obama, he will have to worry about the American people...and Hillary Clinton.
"Enough Said!"
