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.
