Most people, that I know, fall into three groups concerning Barack H. Obama, President of the United States of America (I say his whole name and title because I know it upsets some people):

1.  Pro-Obama – This is the group who are still stuck in November – sorry if that comes across too harsh.  Electing a black man to the highest office in the land has truly been a historic event, but…he still has to be president.  We can’t celebrate his election for four years and not look at the things he promised in addition to the things he is doing.  This group would have you believe that any opinions against what Obama is doing is Republican in nature.

2. Anti-Obama – This is the group who have nothing to very little good to say about our president.  This group includes Republicans (obviously), actors, athletes, singers and racists – openly and closet racists.  People in this group could belong to one or many of those groups and more that I failed to mention.  Now, now, I’m not calling any names so if you are anti-Obama, but don’t fit into any of the groups I mentioned you must belong to a group I failed to mention.

3. The Rest – The rest of us (yes, this is the group I’m in) simply don’t belong in either of the first two groups.  We simply don’t have the blind faith to follow another human being without question and do have enough common sense to see when our government is doing something shady AND people who are anti-Obama want to tear the man down.  We are basically stuck in the middle and have to take it from both sides.

Taking It From Both Sides

Recently, I have been taking it from both sides.  One side says (not in these words) that I’m drinking the Obama Kool Aid and the other side says I sound like a Republican.  The truth of the matter is this: my parents taught me to have some common sense, I’ve been let down by human beings before, I’ve been (figuratively) kicked when I was down, I served in the US Air Force for 20 years, I have seen immoral acts played out by those who should be of the highest moral (and spiritual) standards, I have been the victim of obvious and descrete racism, I have been played by some of the best and I’ve been burned trying to get away with some stuff myself!  Basically, I’m going to question almost everything because I refuse to be somebody’s fool!!!!!!!!!

Having recently nominated myself the spokesman for group 3, “The Rest”, I would like to say we will remain faithful to our common sense and remain steadfast in our believing of the following:

1. Everything Obama is doing and has done isn’t necessarily the best thing for our country and that belief alone does NOT make us Republicans.
2. Everything Obama is doing and has done does not make him the anti-christ and/or the worst president in the world.  This thing isn’t over yet and if people think the direction we are going is going to lead to Socialism and/or the end of the US as they know it then that is their opinion.
3. I have seen Obama’s swagger before, in nightclubs all across America, and that swagger in combination with a nice speaking voice/rhythm isn’t enough to have me caught up.
4. Comparing Obama, and his swagger, to every person with a voice means absolutely nothing!  John Voight, Rush and every other person who has either been compared to Obama or tried to go head to head with him is missing one thing: they are not the President of the United States of America.  They really need to make suggestions to help and get off his…I almost lost it there.
5. The Obama administration has made some mistakes, but at least they are trying!  I don’t think anyone can say Obama is doing things to make the country worse or for his personal gain – something we couldn’t say for the past 8 years.
6. Bush and Palin ARE INDEED two of the biggest…negative examples (you thought I was going to say idiots) for the Republican party.  Rush Limbaugh is probably third and Joe Biden, while not a Republican, is gaining fast in the idiot department!
7. We need more rational thinking and less thinking along party lines.  A Republican administration got us here and a Democratic administration might not be able to get us out of this mess.  If these political parties were the answer we wouldn’t have problems.  Think about it!

Do you have the common sense to form an opinion without bias?  If so, it is plain to see that no one person, or group of people, has all the answers.  That would make them God and there is only one Him!
