Today's Problems Are Bigger Than One Man

The people who blame the President for everything and the people who trust him on everything are equally misguided.

I believe he's trying to find the best way through all of these problems but he won't get the political will or impetus to do the right thing unless WE make our voices heard.

And YES WE CAN do it!

Remember what happened after the Syrian chemical weapon incident?

The MSM went nutso with the atrocity videos trying to gin up an attack on Syria. The RW politicians and pundits were screaming for Obama to attack Syria.

The he put the ball in their court and let Congress debate and vote on it.

The American people both left and right screamed NO from the rooftops so loud that even Congress and Fox News reversed positions and begged Obama NOT to bomb Syria (although some of that was the usual reverse psychology where they have to oppose everything he suggests).

WE HAVE TO PUSH BACK on the warmongers, no matter where that message is coming from.

And I'm sure sometimes the President appreciates it when the People say NO MORE because Dem and Repub pols aren't going to say that unless the People speak up and make their voices heard so loud that they can't be ignored.
