The First Year
Watching the Nightline interview with President Obama I had the distinct feeling that the president's personal confidence is shaken. This is a very different image for the once supremely confident chief executive who admitted in the course of the interview that he has not been able to deliver on those bold promises he made for his first year in office. National polls seem to reflect this as most Americans now think the country is headed in the wrong direction. This is the problem with making too many promises on the campaign trail. So far the Obama administration has encouraged at least one change that is welcome. Republicans are able to field some very competent candidates who have been there all along but the mistakes of the current government has caused these people to step up. We are seeing this in the 1st Congressional District and throughout the country. Bad news for David Wu.

Never put off till tomorrow what may be done today..........................
ReplyDeleteI have always voted for a person and have never voted for a party. But, today, I have to wonder why we bother to learn about people running for election to Congress. It would seem more logical. or at least a more efficient use of time, to simply print the names of the parties on the ballot and let us vote for one of them. The name of the person who will serve can be determined later. Is this what we are supposed to be doing?
ReplyDeleteIf you look at the voting record of David Wu, it almosts mirrors that of the California Representations. You have to ask yourself, Self?, why am I supporting a person who supports the goals of another State and not my own? Its time for Wu to let someone else represent Oregon.
