He has the passion and strength to see some of this come to pass.

You are right he gets no help from many. I guess it is in the peoples hands to push their Representatives hard! As the President said, we must make it know that their action on this, is a prerequisite for their vote!

People power! Yes we can!

and he wasn't suggesting that we not hold his feet to the fire but at the same time he wasn't telling us to only hold him accountable as so many here seen to think.
We are the change we seek.
I like this president, warts and all, In fact I don't see too many warts when it comes right down to it

President Obama is taking on a new role . . he's going to be the star in this summer's blockbuster, playing the lead role as The Regulator!!

Even stronger than Superman, he can leap Congress in a single bound.
Even smarter than Batman, he doesn't need a sidekick like "Boy Wonder".
And, he's better than Ironman . . . he's for real!!!!


<--- He's yelling "Obama!!"
