I am in a quandary. On one hand, I know that a DC insider does not have the respect of the public and on the other, a neophyte like Obama will not have the background or influence at the federal level to have enough influence to affect change.
Note that neither Pelosi nor Reid were able to keep their promises regarding Iran. As a result, they have ignored their constituents and have gone along in order to get along.
Remember that the grand plans of both Carter and Bill Clinton were derailed, at least initially for Clinton, because they did not have experience in DC.
For me, another 4 years like the Carter years or the first term of Clinton are not acceptable.
I live in Florida and knew BEFORE I went to the polls that Florida's votes would not count. The DNC had already announced that our earlier date was in violation of the DNC rules. To claim we did not know beforehand is ridiculous. Obama rules! I love his positive attitude. Once a staunch Hillary supporter, I came to strongly dislike her during this campaign because of her almost extreme negativity. Yeah Obama! If he is forced to name Hillary as his running mate in order to keep the Democratic party from splitting, I hope he is able to influence her to run a clean campaign.
Obama rocks..........He has been my first choice from day one!!!!!I have been busy and finally got a new computer,so..........hopefully I will get to start blogging again.Miss you James.Hope all is well with you. Laurie
