Obama, the man I see

Obama

The man showed up from nowhere. I voted for him. And that day, he became my president.

I saw him in campaign, victory, acceptance speech, inauguration ball, news conferences and state of the union speech. Every time I saw him, I gasped with expectation! Never did I expect as much from any prior presidential candidates or presidents.

He exhibited the qualities I like to see in a man. He is well intentioned, intelligent, a good communicator and uses weighted words.  He is poised, genuine, soft spoken, and considerate of others. He has acknowledging gestures and a spring in his walk; loves his family and does not use racial rhetoric. 

I love it when words are used wisely. He speaks them wisely.

This man, as well intentioned as he is and as much as he has accomplished  under impossible circumstances, is not well liked. By either side; by any side. Republicans never supported him and Democrats always abandoned him. 

It is only midterm and he looks a beaten man. 

That is the power of American politics. That is the power of fickle public. 

Now I gasp in pain!
