(2,730 posts)this President to accomplish some things and we need to keep involved instead of not backing him. Once the Election was over, President Obama has a lot if people in his ear telling him not to carry out the things we elected him for. He has people with money which is Wall Street, Republicans, conservative Democrats and the media trying to act like the Republicans and the people in those Red Districts issues matter more than the people that elected him. That was the problem in the first term. They did not accept the election and kept engaged. We have to stay engaged to back this President instead of piling on.
I've already noticed a difference how President Obama engages those groups trying to get him off course and deter him from what we elected him for. The first thing you heard them say is the President should compromise and he has no mandate. You keep hearing this drumbeat about cutting social programs but none of that during the actual Election. They want Obama to implement Mitt Romney's Policies because that is who some of those groups were actually pulling for in the Election. Obama is the one we elected and we should back him and keep reminding him what we elected him for. It doesn't matter who he puts in any position, as long as they carry out the Policies we elected him for. So far, so good. Once he gets off course we need to let him know it. I don't expect him to fall into the trap of destroying Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid. I also expect him to end the War in Afghanistan and do Immigration Reform just like he promised to do. He don't have to compromise with the Republicans as long as he has our support and let our representatives know it too. Two can play at the Republicans game.
