I can identify with this so much. I'm sick of some of the crap I read from the left. Is Obama perfect? Hell no. But there are some on the left who seem to expect him to be perfect. Does he deserve criticism? Yep, he does. But screaming at the top of ones lungs 24/7, bitching constantly, and expecting that Obama was elected to office just to take care of your personal issue drives me crazy.

Everybody has things they want to see happen. Everybody has an issue that for them is number one. Everybody. And there ARE a lot of issues to deal with. And I DO think that people need to make their voices heard. They DO need to keep calling for the changes they want. But for those who throw tantrums when their issue doesn't get taken care of RIGHT NOW, I don't have much patience for you.

Obama is NOT a miracle worker, and the fact that he isn't doesn't mean he doesn't give a shit about your issue. It means that some changes, many changes in fact, take time. Obama is not the end all and be all; he doesn't run this ship by himself. If all you can do is bitch, you aren't helping. It's highly unlikely that Obama is going to come to you, perched upon high on your throne, and hand you what you want on a silver platter. If you want him to get his hands dirty, guess what? You have to get your hands dirty too.

(And FYI, like BooMan, my remarks are directed at the people guilty of what I'm talking about. They are not directed at everybody who has a cause or an issue that is of utmost importance to them. Many people ARE out there getting their hands dirty, fighting like mad for what's important to them. To you, I say, carry on!)
