Higher Expectations of Government

Previously a writer commented on the results of a Virginian Focus Group conducted November 20, 2008 by Peter Hart and aired November 28, 2008 on C-SPAN. Mr. Hart stated that the Group was willing to cut Obama some slack based on the current condition of the economy. Well, I say "it is time for change." For too long we have been expecting our Government and Big Business to UNDER PERFORM. We have lowered our expectations and now, in todays times, you do yourself and the world a dis-service if you lower expectations.

No flexibility for Obama or anyone else, for that matter. We, the American People, will not give anyone flexibility when we are loosing our jobs, loosing our homes and fighting to find a way to put food in our families mouths. No flexibility for anyone who has the power to made a difference but either decides to do nothing or does not have the intelligence to do anything. Obama is not the President so we, the American People, are not giving him ANY flexibility.

We expect him to be forward thinking... HE IS DOING THAT; we expect him to be pro-active and transparent... HE IS DOING THAT; and FINALLY WE DEMAND FOR HIM TO BE READY... waiting for January 20, 2008... time will tell. I have always been an Obama supporter, but my support is based on his promise of change. I, as an Obama supporter, do not believe he needs flexibility. I do not believe change happens immediately, but I KNOW the steps to change when I see it and I (as an American) DEMAND for our Government to work for the best interest of the American People.
