Congrats to President Obama. By winning a second term you have created an opportunity for yourself to accomplish something that will span generations, again.
Actions such as ObamaCare, are here to stay. New ideas may find a place for the ages, while others may disappear altogether.
As I said after every election, I hope you do well Mr. President. Heck, that is an easy sentiment, every president- elect has promised the earth, sky, and sometimes the moon.
But can we all agree that it's in our best interest that things get better, and that that expectation should reign over party affiliation?
Everyone wants things to get better, even those that don't vote. Let's get some metrics together, so that in four years we all can be debating about something or some issues that are novel, or yet unseen. Instead of repeating 2008 all over again.
Did I say 2008, I meant 2012. Sorry.
It would not only be a shame, but a strong indication that some ideas aren't just helping out, even though their intentions are paved in gold, if we are giving a pass on some numbers, or blaming Bush still four years from now.
Its not a metric, but can we not be blaming Bush, or lustily remembering how good the Clinton years were, when we have our next Presidential election?
Here's is a metric, unemployment. It's about 8% right now. Can we agree on a number where it would have to be, to validate Obama's policies?
At least some scrutiny?
Listen, I know we won't have Obama to elect again, but honestly, if its still at about 8%, and then some are still claiming we need to continue onward by electing the successor Democrat, they are out of their mind, not me.
Deficit. I'm of the sort that believes zero deficit is about right. Smaller than it is today would be a passable grade. Little difference, one way or another, is a failure.
Debt. Another metric where zero sounds right to me. But I'll face reality, if you do too. We got to do something about this. A big difference is needed, or I say failure.
Let's get together on some metrics. People are posting and tweeting that we need to get together. I agree. But I don't believe in abandoning scrutiny.
This year Obama won with horrible numbers by saying he needed more time. O.K. But we ought to be observant enough that in four years time, if the numbers are still horrible, we know the difference between talk and action.
