I can picture you, CharInOhio, just searching for places on the web to blog negatively about our new President. I agree that it must be hard to be you. Our economy crashed two weeks before the election, so yes, reality changed. What a ridiculous thing to rant against, that our President would "need the advice of LL Cool J..." Did you miss the part where Newsweek asked Americans to write letters to him? Find somewhere else to blog nonsense.

‘Listen to That Voice’
Email To A Friend
Please fill in the following information and we'll email this link.
I guess the best advice I can give you is to listen and pay attention. Not only to the general consensus of the public, but to that voice within. That voice you heard as a child on the beach in Hawaii, that same voice that founded our country, ended slavery, sent man to the moon, told you to run for office and told the majority of Americans to cast their vote for you.
That's quite some voice. I hear it telling me that for the next four years you'll be in a position where every choice you make is likened to the fourth quarter of an NBA finals game 7, with 0.3 seconds left on the clock and the ball is in your hands. Will you sink the shot? Can you handle the pressure? If you miss, can you shake it off and be confident when it's time shoot again? Are you ready?
I hope you are. No, actually I believe you are. I trust you. We trust you. And hopefully four years from now everyone will still want to be just like Obama.
I'll end my letter with this fairly well known quote from Alexis Carrel: "Man cannot remake himself without suffering for he is both the marble and the sculptor."
That being said, every time a president makes choices, he remakes himself and millions of others. Choose wisely my brother. Listen to that voice.
