The time for taking sides is almost upon us. The time for tearing down the man who will run as President for the Democratic party is over soon. I maintain that we must begin to work together, instead of working against each other, starting on January 1, 2012, and continue that work until November.

President Obama has not accomplished all we hoped for since 2009. He has accomplished some things we hoped for. As always, the world fails to reach perfection. It's all a slow movement towards a goal. President Obama has not been a perfect President. He has had a lot of obstacles before him. Some were insurmountable. Some of those can be overcome with the next Congress and the one after that.

If we work our asses off in 2012, and work together toward common goals, we can pull it off. If we do not, the alternative is far from our goals.

It's worth thinking about as 2011 winds down, I think.
