Dear Obama - the past year many of us worked our asses off to help get you re-elected....

24. Oh please, this is getting really tired. The president has enormous power. I can assure you if

Romney had won even if we held the Senate and Congress, Republicans would use that power to get their way.

It's time to stop making excuses. People's lives and livelihoods are at stake. We don't have the luxury of catering to Republicans. They have been repudiated once again in this election and still we hear the same old excuses. If winning leaves us so powerless, then why bother? If a Democratic President has less power than a Republican President, then it's time to change that.

The power of the Senate and the WH and the loss of some of the most extreme Republicans in Congress and the election of some great Progressives in their place, gives us all the power we need to stop the Republican agenda, and if I believed otherwise, I would join the millions of American who no longer participate in the system. No wonder so many do not, if this is what they are being told.

It isn't about Obama or any one person, it is about millions of people, both here and in other parts of the world. We won, let's use that power and stop always being so negative about what we CAN'T do, rather than positive about what we CAN do.
