Not Your Baby Mama

Dear President Obama,
      What in the world is going on in D.C.?  Please help me figure it out.  Health care reforms that were minimal at best are now back on the chopping block before any real impact can be made.  Extending the Bush era tax cuts for the super wealthy and NOW potentially making Medicaid, medicare, and nutrition and food benefit programs block grants for states to administer as they see fit????? What? Where? How? ( Have you even heard of Arizona Mr. President?.. I wonder what Sheriff Joe will do with food stamp funds?????)  Mr. President I believed in you... I am still trying to.  I knew you stepped into one of the biggest messes this country has ever seen both socially and economically. I knew the global economy was in flux and your role as our first Black President was and is going to be under constant scrutiny.  You have a position I don't even envy. (I may have tossed a rock at someone by now..but that is another story)  I know in my heart you are a good man and you sooo want people to work together but I need to know how is this working for you???? Cause it's not looking so good for us... Us struggling single moms, lower economic status, working poor, educated beyond our job opportunities, paying 4.00 a gallon, trying to make ends meet Americans. 
     I know the congress is not working with you. And I can say with almost all certainty they won't. There are those in your own party who would wish your demise.  There are those so concerned with destroying you and any chances at your re-election  they would further burden this country that is already broke and bleeding.  I know a budget needs to be balanced and deficit gaps closed, but why is always at the cost of the most vulnerable among us? Sir, my heart leaped when you were elected.  I believed in the changed you preached.  I didn't think change meant a Utopian existence. No, Mr. President, I don't count you as either Messiah or Anti-Christ as so many do.  I just believe you to be a decent man, a man full of optimism and a fresh perspective and political leanings that more resemble my own than any representative of the other major political party. I did however hope change would mean we would be getting out of the two wars your predecessor got us into, not adding a third.  I thought education would be on the for front and more young people would have greater access to quality education regardless where they are from.
      Mr. President, I appreciate the thoughtfulness and pragmatic approach you bring to the table.  It is needed after the nearly decade long stint of rash words and irresponsible actions that came out of the Oval Office prior to your arrival.  I would love if this country could learn to dialogue rather than berate.  If we could be a nation that is not only so called "Christian" in our self righteous moral stiffness, but actually be Christ like in our compassion for the poor and hurting. Yet all the hoping in the world is not going to change anything.  We look to our leaders to lead.  Not to cave or compromise us into submission and further destruction.  You won!  I don't know if you notice it or not but elections have consequences and the winners have their say.  The opposing party is certainly exercising the privileges they gained in the latest rounds of elections.  When will you exercise yours.....?
