those who support the President and those who do not.

I have opposed this President since before he was nominated, BUT I did have some respect for him and I think some of what he wants to do would be tolerable if he himself showed some confidence in what he is doing (OR NOT DOING).

The link below is right on the mark....a few highlights but I suggest all read it...

"Recently The Jerusalem Post ran a brilliant and troubling piece by Amir Mizroch titled �Why everyone is saying no to Obama.�

Last Friday the president was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing. Don�t blame the president. He did not ask for it, and had the grace to say he did not deserve it. Voters may vote for an idea. Prizes may be awarded for an idea. But war and peace, prosperity and joblessness, legislation and treaties, illness and health, are not decided by the idea of the candidate but the actions of the president who is elected."

The writer continues in the article..."The president has described himself as a Rorschach in which others with divergent views project their views onto him. This is brilliant politics in a campaign but a disastrous approach to governing. Opponents become energized, supporters become depressed, power centers become disrespectful, and the president who tries to be many things to many people influences very few to do anything of substance for change."

It is a great read and basically confirms what a poster once said about our President......"an empty suit"

He concludes....

"Rorschach presidents do not change anything. I pray the president will learn the lessons of history and his own experience, but when he does not, I must dissent."

A very good read for everyone...
