Rome wasn't built in one day...

Today in my small town Sunday paper is a letter to the editor. The author is a lifelong citizen of our small county in S. Jersey. She writes a good-bye letter to Gov. Corzine and a warning to democrats.

she says this.."One of the smartest, old-fashioned, honest politician's life, as a governor, has come to an end. You know I sometimes wonder what in the name of God did the smart, dumb or independent people of N.J. expect from a good and decent man like Gov. Corzine? We elected this man for his knowledge of finance and his ability to arrange and gather fellow workers to work together. He did so much of that. So, where did he fail you people? Did you expect this man to erase all of New Jersey's problems in four years when it took 15 to 20 or more years to create them?
The first three years the pieces of the puzzle were put on the table. The fourth year he started to put the pieces into place(Rome wasn't built in one day). So why would you expect New Jersey to be cleaned, prosperous and become a land of paradise in four years? Why didn't you people have sense enough to let this man finish what he started? Why didn't you give him four more years to finish what he promised? How sad, how sorry we are going to be."



How profound...

This letter could be written for President Obamas ex-supporters 3 years from now if they don't wake up and smell the coffee! A president who is elected to bring change to a country that was destroyed from a previous administration NEEDS more than 4 years to do the hard job at hand.

What is happening in the Massachusetts Senate race is another good example of dems weary after just one year. I'm shocked and disheartened democrats can not see the big picture. Have they forgotten in just one teeny, tiny short year why we elected Barack Obama? Why are they letting the repub run media scare tactics fog up their brains, distort their thinking, feed their fears and anxieties?

You democrats and independents who have already begun to jump ship may as well be watching Beck and Palin, because it will be you who put them in the White House in 2012. Is that what you want??

Be wise, be patient, be helpful, be organized.... be proud Democrats and show support for your president, and for all democrats in office. AND, always remember the alternative....
