OBAMA, don't look at my record, look ahead .

Just got an email from the Obama folks, Focus On The Next 4 Years, Not The Last Ones

That certainly got me to thinking, how is that possible. Made me think of my old Oakwood High School class song, "Guide your future by your past.........."

Let's look at the positives he has done. .................. OK, keep looking. OK. He has "lowered the bar" on ALL aspects of the Presidency, perhaps that is what he meant. He was not qualified four years ago, now he has a little experience and is qualified. He has abused possibly every "perk" that exists for being president, as well as his wife.

He is now in the same "atmosphere" with rock singers, professional athletes and  movie stars, i.e. private jet, mansion, automobiles ... and, the appearance (if nothing more than in his own mind) of being adored. He is surrounded by "YES" men, speech writers, teleprompters, "wannabe's" and money. And, and, just maybe, he can come up with his birth certificate if we give him another four years.

I think what he meant was, if we all intently look ahead, we will not look at the past, he didn't say "let my  record speak for itself." I wonder what it would sound like, if it spoke?
