It is with a certain degree of sorrow that I admit that we have lost the audacity that all of us celebrated who shared the vision that our President had when he spoke so eloquently of transforming this country and bringing it squarely into the 21st Century.
He had a moment, much like that glorious moment of Camelot, but it slipped through his fingers, becoming mired in the distrust, the bias, the bigotry, and the lies of his opposition.
And somehow he could not rise above them to proclaim his message for a better America...an America where the wealthy would pay their fair share, where every American would purchase reasonable health care, where everyone would cherish and care for our world, where unemployment would fade away, where our Seniors would not live in fear of having their Social Security and their Medicare stripped away.
Now, that "audacity of hope" flickers ever dimmer as we approach the battle to finally have a budget for 2011. In spite of the fact that the administration has already offered to cut 50 billion from the budget, the insatiable opposition says that isn't nearly enough. They want twice that much.
Even sadder, I fear our President is not strong enough to stand up to them and tell them to go to hell.
These greedy leeches will continue sucking the lifeblood from the Middle Class while demanding all the tax breaks for the wealthy until I fear we will be no more.
He said"Put Up or Shut Up"this is a start.
