Obama Politics and Love

Syria Action. To really be the good guy, Shame the regime by putting the $millions that will be spent bombing, by giving Direct Humanitarian AID to the Syrians that have been deplaced by the war by the action of Both sides. This would not be quite the MAcho action that the Hawks want. But it would actually improve conditions and quality of live for the refgees!!! Go Do it , Obama, Hollande and Cameron.. NOW no UN resolution needed.

Obama's Peace Prize Acceptance Speech. Whatever opinion you have on Obama, or his, or US politics, there is much to learn from reading his acceptance speech. He sums up why we are human and the responsiblities we face toward our fellow human beings. If you are a "freedom fighter" or "president", a "prince" or "pauper", "banker" or "gardener", "soldier" or "priest", take the time to read or listen to what he has said. Reflect on it for yourself! We share this planet.....

Interesting that a man's attitude toward resolving the complex issues of bringing peace to the world would win him the prize. Perhaps the Nobel committee want to encorage the trouble makers of the world to change their attitude toward peace making too. The Middle East, North Korea, Afganistan etc. are the hot spots where local leaders are not leading toward peace, but playing for POWER. Sad but true. Do they really want to stop the killing? Show us that you do!!! I believe that Obama does. Try joining him and see what can be done.......

Town meetings by the President of the United States, while the Senate and House of Representatives bicker over who gets what for whom? I have enjoyed watching the President make clear what he and his team are trying to make happen for the American People and the Economy. His willingness to answer questions and not dodge points made to him have excited me. No! of course he does not have all the answers, and some of his proposals won't have quite the impact he is looking for. But he is willing to stand up and be counted and not hide behind the "Power Brokers" who are just too used to getting their way when bills are drafted. I only hope that when the House and Senate members are trying to reconcile their differences, they will take time to go back to the main principals that the President has put down for these matters. After all, he has been elected to Lead!! and they should do a little humble Following for a change. Support the People!! I say. GO - Obama - GO

Did not see the full report on Obama's initiatives today on this subject. Fuel efficient cars and alternative energy sources must be the focus. My apartment building changed from oil heating to a ground based "heat pump" solution just over a year ago before the oil price surge. Our costs dropped dramatically. We still depend on electricity however. As the apartment is in Switzerland most of our electricity is Hydro. What is happening where you are?

Are the American people ready to respond to President Obama? The first indications are that they all ready doing so... Will the politicians play ball or will the the Lobby boys and girls gum up the system as they have done so much in the past? Sadly there were some uncomfortable looks being passed between the old conservatives in the crowd yesterday... Perhaps the people will overcome! Will the some of the "Clenched fists" yield to the offer of an open hand? Sadly they probably will not... Let us hope for a surprise! Let us hope for decisive action in the months ahead, and Good Luck to President Obama, his Family, the American People and the Rest of Us.

These Opinions on Obama Politics and Love are mine alone. The heady attraction of power and more importantly the responsibilities that it brings offer Obama a great opportunity to do real good for the American people and the the larger world population. Can he finally bang heads together in the Middle East so that the senseless killing stops and the politicians recognize their responsibilities to protect their citizens and not use them as tools through which to exercise power? Will he be able to help the poor at home? Particularly the ill and weak... And can he survive the cowards who would do him harm because of his position and background? What do you think.....
