my knickers aren't in a bunch, dearie. i'm sick and tired of people bitchin' that Obama's not making miracles fast enough now that he's in office ...and i'm hearing this mostly from the Black community. everyone was celebrating his election win and triumphing during his inauguration but now he's president, majority are expecting bigger handouts (ie public aid/food stamps). they presume they have it made since there's a Black (to the Black community he's not bi-racial) man sitting in the White House. you should have those hanging around the liquor store near my apartment - oh yeah, we have a brother in the White House and HE's going to fix everything those whites (not the exact words) messed up. problem is they somehow missed the message during the election night. he said "we have to make sacrifices ...we have to work together..." if you listen to many of his speeches before, during and after - he's always using a plural possessive noun (we, our, us,) never single possessive noun (i, my) - that's what i like about him - we as a nation will have to work together if we want change. and he's correct - it's not going to happen overnight.
