For years I have been frustrated by how weak an ineffectual Reid and Obama have been
... I am now kinda glad they were. I am sure it wasn't by design but I think that now, as a result of some true backbone by our leaders, we are in the best possible position to finally be rid of some truly negative forces, that have kept this country from making great strides. Can you imagine where we would be right now if Boner would have been even 10% cooperative over the last 6 years? Now we can get on with it, in a big way. Shortly after President Obama won again I told my daughter, "No lame duck pres this time, he has BIG plans for his second term". Yes, I am a dreamer... but if we all dream enough.
He DOES have our back!
