    A Working President

    I have been a huge supporter of President Barack Obama

    since the earliest days of his campaign, and I continue

    to support him now in these extremely challenging times.


    Obama inherited from George W Bush one of the most

    disastrous economies, two wars (at least one of which

    could have been avoided) and the legacy of probably the

    most disastrous policies in our nation's history.


    Obama has worked tirelessly in his first months in office

    and has already taken vast steps in terms of passing

    legislation to address the global economic meltdown and

    the many other vital issues we face, including

    universal healthcare, which I believe should be a

    fundamental human right along with education.


    He has not been helped in this by the Republicans, who

    have chosen to use this critical point in determining the

    future not only of the United States but of the world

    by disengaging from a positive participation in the

    political process and instead focusing their energy on

    criticizing Obama and trying to gain political capital from

    the many current crises.


    My hope is that we all allow Obama the time and give him

    the support needed for his policies to take effect.

    Above all, it is critical that we remember that this is

    a situation that he inherited, and not one of his making.


    May we all wish him well.
