TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN


REPOST FROM OCTOBER 25, 2009:
"HE WALKED THROUGH A VALLEY FILLED WITH DANGER. THOSE WHO WALKED BESIDE HIM CONSPIRED WITH THOSE WHO FOLLOWED CLOSELY BEHIND. WITH EVERY STEP THEY LONGED FOR THE PAST DAYS OF ROGUE LEADERS, AND OPPRESSIVE INSTITUTIONS; AT THE SAME TIME ACCUSING HIM OF THE DAMAGE DONE BY HIS PREDECESSOR. BUT HE WAS SMARTER THAN THEM ALL. DISPITE THEIR CONSTANT DISSENT AND OPPOSITION, HE LED THEM SAFELY THROUGH THE VALLEY AND INTO A LAND OF HOPE, PROMISE AND PROSPERITY. IT WAS AN UNFORGIVEABLE ACT, AND THEY HATED HIM FOR IT."

ALTHOUGH MANY ARE MORE INFORMED AND NOW TRUST PRESIDENT OBAMA WITH THE DIRECTION THAT HE IS TRYING TO TAKE THE COUNTRY, THE LEVEL OF HATE FROM THE OPPOSITION HAS ESCALATED BEYOND REASON. REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS HAVE OBSTRUCTED EVERY POLICY AND SEEDED THE HATE WITH RACIAL AND ECONOMIC DIVIDE FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF EXTENDING THEIR OWN CAREERS, AND LINING THEIR OWN POCKETS. PRESIDENT OBAMA'S SUCCESSES LIKE RIDDING THE PLANET OF NOTORIOUS TERRORIST, SECURING HEALTH CARE FOR MOST AMERICANS, ENDING THE WAR IN IRAQ, ENDING DADT, DEFENDING SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE FROM AN ALL OUT ASSAULT BY THE OPPOSITION, SAVING THE AUTO INDUSTRY, BEING ONE OF ONLY FIVE PRESIDENTS TO OVERSEE A 60% GAIN IN THE DOW JONES SINCE TAKING OFFICE, CREATED NEARLY 4 MILLION JOBS, DEFENDING WOMENS RIGHTS, ENDING INSURANCE COMPANY ABUSES, ETC. ETC. HAVE BEEN DISCOUNTED, AND COUNTLESS LIES HAVE BEEN PERPETUATED AGAINST PRESIDENT OBAMA. THE LEVEL OF DISRESPECT TOLERATED AGAINST THIS PRESIDENT HAS DAMAGED THIS COUNTRY GREATLY, AND OUR STANDING ACROSS THE GLOBE HAS BEEN DENIGRATED BY THE INSANE DIALOGUE INITIATED BY THE "TEA PARTY" AND TEA PARTY PROPONENTS. I HAVE LITTLE DOUBT THAT AMERICANS OF GOOD CONSCIENCE WILL NOT ELECT A NEWT GINGRICH OR A MITT ROMNEY TO SINK US FURTHER INTO THE ABYSS. THEIR RHETORIC AND POLICIES ARE THE SAME.
