I'm Still Confused...

I'm not suite sure how I feel about Obama making his first interview since the Inauguration to a non-US news organization. I could care less that it was an Arab station, what annoys me is that it wasn't an American station. Now, I fully get that we need to rebuild the bridges with the world that have been torn down by the ass-hat that previously help the Office of President, but I also think that Obama owes us the first… well, just about the first everything. He is our President, not the President of the World.

Ok, ok, "the US is the leader of the world," blah blah blah. Still, we are the citizens that hoisted him to Office. We deserve that first whatever, if only for symbolism's sake. Right now, we're all a little fragile. We, or are friends and family, are losing our jobs. Over 50,000 jobs lost this week alone. The queer community is still hurt over the pains of the past few months. The Red States are still bitter about being angry, hateful, ugly people. We have problems, and we'd like to hear some positive words from our leader.

I know I've sounded like a pessimist when it comes to Obama, but I will defend myself. We always must ask for EXACTLY what we want, never anything less, never compromise. If you ask for what you think is a good compromise, you will end up with even less. Aim for the stars, because even if you miss, you'll still reach the moon… and all the second grade BS. I demand the absolute best from Obama, and I won't settle for anything less.
