The president started out promising with hope and change in his campaign. When his opponent said he was giving the people false hope, the president digressed and said why he thought it was still “99 bottles of beer on the wall”. The changes will come even if one bottle of beer would fall. We got him as president, we had a majority in congress, a veto proof senate and an energetic public. What we got was spare change. Not even enough money to buy one bottle of beer on the wall or give to the guy who is begging at the local gas pump. Then, he began to move the goal posts on us. We were no longer looking backward, we were looking forward.  Then, he began to channel Ronald Reagan and acting like President DUB YA. He sends out his court jester ( R ham Emanuel) to tell the people on the left that we were losing our minds because we had fear of going insane. He even said that we should be drug tested. We on the left can honestly say that we have not been sniffing basement dirt and wood glue.  Now his new phrase is “win the future”.  It leads one to believe that he thinks that we are the low information voters with a Pollyanna view of his policies. We still haven’t forgot about our “bottle of beer on the wall”!  We want to win right now! .We are not members of his church. This is politics and not Christian Dogma?

To the extent that morning shows the day, I agree with the aspect of your post that calls for hope realized and not dream deferred. I think we should start demanding that commentators man up to disclosing upfront who their paymasters are. Some are beginning to sound like paid hands on The Apprentice on one hand or presidential aides on the other.

We need fair disclosure. I start with myself; I have no clandestine agenda to protect. If you believe you have found one, I dare you to publish it. My agenda is the same as that of MLK Jr. and other true patriots sold on standing up for truth and justice for ALL.

Who was it that said "play by their rules" when change is requisite?  Don't sit on your hands.  "Use the system".  Petition courts, congress and the like with an overwhelming amount of validated signatures nationwide from door to door and at mass gatherings.
