Lawton Politics

Hello everyone...
I wanted to post a message about the Podcast. I am in the process of updating the website, adding some features, and I will be posting a new podcast soon.

I have started to include the President's weekly address, so come on over and take a look.

Mr. Obama,
First, I would like to congratulate you on your most impressive victory this past November. You truly are a person who knows how to move the masses. I like so many other people in our nation hope and pray that you have the skills to move our great country forward.

Just this morning, I was able to watch your weekly video address at ww.whitehouse.gov I found your words to be elegant but without substance. You told the American people what you wanted to do, but not how you plan on doing it. I in the future would like to see more
"substance" rather than "fluff" when you speak to us.

The Democrat party has a negative reputation, over this history of our Nation. It tends to think that the people cannot take care of themselves, and the answer of all of our problems is what the government can do for us. I would like you to remember the words of a President that I happen to dislike. Bill Clinton said at his inauguration in 1992, "There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be fixed by what is right with America."

So in closing, I would like you to reflect about how you talk to us. Your words are always well chosen and they sound great, but do not think that choice words alone will make the American People support you... Many of us well listen carefully to what you will say...

Good Luck,
The Deputy

Here is a story that comes from http://www.muskogeephoenix.com/
