It's the End of an Error 

Barack Obama said that within a short time after he assumes the Office of the President, we will begin to see a reduction in the forces in Iraq. However, the issue that has made it the front burner, now, is the economy.

Barack Obama has a daunting task ahead of him.

With our economy in peril, our Constitution having been  abused and neglected for 8 years. The middle class standard of living is falling into the lower class standard and the lower class is joining the ranks of the poor while the wealthy have gained even more wealth. We have endured at least 8 years of bitter partisanship and gridlock promoted by the divisive policies of one of the most corrupt presidents since Richard Nixon.

Out of this darkness that has almost overwhelmed us, comes a message of Hope, Promise, and Integrity.

We as Democrats must recognize that President Obama will not be able to fulfill all of his and our aspirations overnight. It took 8 years to get us to this point. It will take time, and deliberate, determined steps to restore what has been damaged.

As we support our President, it is up to us to keep our Hope and Faith alive, even if many around us grow impatient.

Contribute a commentary:

See our commentary page!

As the Obama Administration continues to take shape and his personal touch is being seen with greater clarity, news commentators are beginning to, more and more, dissect his actions and pass judgements on them. This is as it should be. (The fact that a radio personality who makes his living saying outlandish things is being considered the "Spokesperson" for the Republican Party gives one pause, however) Commentators and analysts are also pointing out the fact that some "liberal" group or other assumed to be on Obama's side do not always agree with the President's decisions.
So here is a question for all of you Democrats out there.
Is it okay to be a True Blue Democrat and disagree at times with the Presidents policy or direction on some issues. And, if it is okay, what do you do about it? 
Our organization will publish your comments on our editorial page.
