Obama has one chance... (your thoughts please)
He has one chance...

A lot of us are giving him support. A lot of us have drank the kool-aid, joined the cult, or whatever they say about us Obama-supporters. But here're the issue:

Obama has been given this chance by many of us. He's inspired so many people. And he'll win in November!

But here's the issue... He has been given this opportunity to do some good. So many people believe in him. They believe they have someone who can buck the status quo and actually get things done.

Obama has this one chance by people, us, who believe in him.

I sincerely hope that he doesn't screw it up...

1. Oh stop it, he is not a GOD, he will make mistakes
he's human, he's mortal. Give me a break.

2. Listen to his victory speech and tell me he is NOT speaking from the heart.
No script, extemporaneously and he's touching ALL points; the man is inspired and on fire; he's not black he's AMERICA; he is the future and hope of America.

5. I've heard this speech before, right here when he came to town...
Just a couple of weeks ago. Same speech. Exactly.

Of course, I know he has to do this -- a new speech for every campaign stop is just not practical.

I am just saying, he'd better not eff this up.

7. It's not all on him...
...we can't just vote him into the White House and expect the world to suddenly become a utopia.

Just as we, as America, failed by allowing Bush to sit in the White House for two terms, we have to succeed not only by putting Obama in the White House, but by hoping advance that agenda we are wanting.

9. Buy the Obama pancake on ebay
Seriously, if we want his presidency to be a great success then we need to give him the financial support that won't just get HIM elected but a lot more congress people to make things happen. He needs to have huge coat-tails to get the mandate. Financailly back him now however you can, even if it involves bidding on that hilarious Obama pancake on ebay.
