It's been one full year since the historical election...

How do you feel now? Still believeing in all that change????

This past year did mark a historical event with the election of our first African - American president. His campaign slogan - Change You Can Believe In. So many promises were made and yet in one year, we are yet to see any of his promises kept.

Sadly, he cannot make a decision on the troop surge even though he has been given sound advice from the general. He IS "dithering." I am not sure exactly what he thinks will happen between now and the time he makes a decision. We continue to lose more Americans daily because we need more troops in there. For more information, read this blog http://letthemfight.blogspot.com/. It is full of information on what really needs to be done and is written by a former Marine who recently lost his son in Afghanistan. It is very imformative and has brought me to a much more clear understanding of why we need more troops and a better plan.

And, what about the new Healthcare plan. He made that promise that he would have this in place within his first year as president. Now we hear from the Senate Democrats that there is virtually no way to get a bill to Obama on healthcare within this year!! One more broken promise.

He preached bipartisanship through his campaign. Has he taken the first step to reach across the aisle and make compromises? Maybe reaching across that aisle would help to create that healthcare plan that was promised. He panders to the left and this is not the policies he ran on.

His approval rate has dropped by double digits now. The elections yesterday showed poor turnout by young people and African Americans. This tells us something. Last year, people voted for the charisma and promises made by a man with little experience and questionable background. Now, with election results in, key races were won by the GOP. Maybe people are coming to their senses.
