I disagree that people don’t rally around Obama. I believe Obama has and is receiving an unprecedented amount of support, even despite the radical changes and decisions he has had to make. America is still very much in love with “Yes we can.” If we weren’t then I guarantee that there would be mass rioting in the streets. It is a distorted picture of Obama’s waning popularity that we are presented in the media. It is not just FOX NEWS © either. It is every major news outlet that is distorting the truth and they are doing so for the very reason that they presented Obama in such a favorable light during the elections, for ratings!
The news is failing to report that Obama won by an average margin, not a dramatic one. I believe it was over 37 percent of Americans that did not vote for Obama. These people did not immediately become Obama supporters just like 9/11 war protestors didn’t just rally behind Bush. The Conservative think tank that has coalesced since the election is not a new group of former supporters gone rouge. It is the same former protesters that now have a name and a pulpit via the fickle media. Their cause is only as real as having an excuse to be pissed. Why? Because of who their supporters and backers are. Insurance companies and MD’s while on opposite sides of this issue philosophically are on the same side economically because they both are able to find massive loop holds by which they can extract massive amounts of money from the American people.
So you see it is those people that are rallying the voice of the opposition but that opposition is no more clued in to the real problems now than they were before the election. The difference between now and then is that now they have been given a more feasible reason for rejecting Obama. A reason found in a promises he made to the American people and that is healthcare reform. Their complaints are not about any one issue in particular. Their complaints go deeper then that. They represent the class of Americans that feel that America as it was before all the minorities and liberals came in is slipping from their grasps. They don’t like change because their values are based on a narrow scoped W.A.S.P.ed ideology.
Sort of like the whole religion argument that keeps popping up here on rant rave. For example Altruist and I have very similar views on ethics, morality, the environment, education, employment and it is not because we’re both liberals, although I will admit it may appear that way. It is because these are the right things to do. I don’t do good because I wake up in the morning and say gosh I’m a liberal, no I do good because it is the right thing to do. I suspect that Altruist feels the same way. Don’t you Altruist? This should surprise every reader now because he is not a Christian and I am. The preconceived ideas about Christianity say that Christians have to be narrow minded but that is only true of Conservative Anglo Christianity not of all Christians.
And it is that narrow scope of Anglo Christian conservative minded people that are being unduly spotlighted as the voice of America. They are just one voice of America and the only reason they are yelling is because they are afraid. For the longest time they bullied every other non them around and now they are not in that position of bullying and they feel that the ones they oppressed will now repay them eye for an eye. They don’t get that we are not them. That what we seek is equality and our chance at the American dream. The rest of America even us Hillary Democrats are saying with one loud accord, “Yes we effin can, dang it!”
We are holding Obama up to his promises to represent all of the American people and as divers a landscape as Americans are we are not expecting a lot. We know the pie has to be split many ways and we are okay with that, The fringe lunatic extremist right isn’t because they’ve been accustomed to eating the damn pie all by their effin selves but we are not like that. We are going to wait for our little slice. The media will not report that because they want to publish drama, because drama sells but the fact is that the mass hysteria that was Obama fever is still there. It is just not being reported on! So yeah, I disagree that people did not rally around Obama. I believe Obama has and is still receiving an unprecedented amount of support. It is just not being reported on.
