Just The Facts

What the Midterm Vote Meant To Me.
The turn out for Republican candidates said to me that the Republicans are satisfied with high unemployment, a high national debt and the country being on the verge of bankruptcy.
The absence of Democrats at the polls means that Democrats are satisfied with the direction of the Obama administration. Their complacency cost them and buried the Obama platform that they voted for in 2008.
One insignificant factor affecting the way people (Black and White) view President Obama has to do with the “super” syndrome. A working mother has to be super at both her job and raising her family in order to be considered a good mother. A black athlete or musician has to be twice as good as the best white athlete or musician in order to be considered good enough. Although President Obama is the best President that we have had in the last 40 years, he has not engendered the term “super”. I think that, if President Obama had stuck to his guns on health care and other issues instead of following his staff into a trap laid out by the Republicans, the political landscape would be much different. The Republicans demanded and got concessions that were designed to be used against the Democrats in the midterm elections. With “Shaft” Super Bad was an advertising ploy to sell movies to Black people, but President Obama has to earn all accolades by being better than the super moms, black athletes, black musicians, actors and actresses.
