Midterm Election(s) of 2010

I find the sports and game of politics in the U.S enormously interesting. Many selfish, right-wing, uninformed, deficient in reasoning skills, and plainly stupid are complaining that Obama is governing from the left. What do they expect from a guy with his background? (white mother was an anthropologist who married a fellow black student from Kenya and then an Indonesian. He chose to be a community organizer upon graduation from Harvard Law School where he was the editor of Harvard Law Review). His only problem, in my estimation, is that he does not do enough ego stroking. He does not meet often Republican leaders in Congress for small chats. He didn't send letter of thanks to a donor who so far has given $30,000 to his campaign and causes. Last but not least, he has managed to alienate the independents and some of his base by compromising too much with the selfish interest groups in order to get his programs passed into laws.

What his detractors, especially the rabid, narrow-minded, myopic followers of the Tea Party, fail to realize that he is the best hope for America to arrest the decline and to revitalize the country. I have yet found a single program of his that I disagree with in principle. Remember, the role of government is to assist and protect the weak and the disadvantaged. The rich and the privileged can always take care of themselves. In addition, his programs are designed to strengthen America and to help all Americans for the long term, not just to help rich Republican cronies like Bush Lite's policies did while ignoring the interest of all Americans.
