Tom, I enjoy reading your daily letters. I have never worried so much as I am now with this man at the helm! I'm scared for our country,our troops, our children, and how we are financially ever going to survive too. My god, what is going to become of us?

Procrastination , indecision , and doing nothing are more riskier than making on the spot decision., and acting rashly.
Rush, decide and act should be Obam's move.
Put a full stop, do not throw a question mark.

It seems that the greatest question that he must ask himself is, "Will this war make our country greater?"... I know the answer to that, and so do millions of other Americans! So, he needs to follow the exit plan he spoke of during his campaign.

Medicaid, Medicare...just extend the programs and make it one large program to include the middle class. Why is this so difficult? The negativity centers around the reams of paper that outline an "already been done" health insurance policy.

Maybe the president needs to go out and campaign some more since that's what he does best!

He will probably call after he is done thinking about Afghanistan. He will not rush into a call to you.

People just don't have enough faith anymore. In their country, their leaders, their neighbors, and least of all....in themselves. When Obama first came into office, I saw a face of hope, compassion, and a genuine want to do the right thing. A few months into his term, his face changed. I began to see worry, stress, frustration, and exhaustion. I feel sorry for him. He has been confronted by opposition and negativity since he was sworn in, and even the supporters that voted for him slowly began to turn their backs on him. People need to realize that he is not solely responsible for all of the decision making. There is an entire population of officials, advisors and voters that he must wade through before any decision is final. Just because he didn't implement a change he promised as a candidate, doesn't necessarily mean he isn't trying. All we see is what we're spoon fed by the media, so that's all we tend to focus on, and when it's something we don't like the taste of, we get our feelings hurt and lash out like 4 year old deprived of candy.

People need to remember that even though he has the most important job in the country, he is still only human. He will not be able to please everyone. We the people can't even agree on what we need or want as a collective, so how can we expect him to make everything better for us? And, just like the rest of us, he needs support, love, and understanding in order to thrive and feel positive about the decisions he faces. Our country is likened to a large, extended family, and Obama is the father figure. We don't always agree with or understand our parent's decisions, and they don't always make the right ones, but as a family we love and support each other no matter what, and we are there to give each other a helping hand when we see it's needed. We experience ups and downs together, we work and play together, we learn and grow together. Sometimes we bicker, disagree, and get our feelings hurt, but when it comes down to it, we couldn't thrive without each other.

Until we learn how to bring humanity to the forefront of our daily personal lives, we will never have a humane body governing over our daily personal lives. Life is a reflection of itself at all levels. If you observe the way things work on one level, you can be sure it works that way on all levels. Why do politicians lie? Because we all lie. Why are government entities selfish, greedy and corrupt? Because we are all selfish, greedy and corrupt. Why is there a lack of humanity in ruling bodies? Because there is a lack of humanity in the collective humanity. There is only one person you can depend on to start making the changes you want to see in your world, and that's you. Your lives are not the responsibility of a governing body. It's only there to help us get along as best as we can. When you step out of the darkness that is greed, hatred, and selfish desires, only then can you exist in the light that is love, compassion, and humanity. Obama cannot do that for you.
