I just want to let my two-cents out a bit. It'll be a short post.
Recently, one thing subconciously bugs me. A lot of things has been happening in our global community, and withing our backyard. Tax hikes, budget cuts, job lay off, economic crisis, recession, North Korea, the troubles in the Middle East, and much much more. All these are events that require dire attention, that I agree with. However, all these events, always lead to discussion, and whether jokingly, or seriously pleading, I keep on hearing "Obama, DO SOMETHING."
Yes, I agree that Obama should be exerting efforts to help these events, especially the recent North Korean sentencing on the journalists, but I do firmly believe that Obama has so much on his plate already. Our president is doing a swell job, already so quick in actions, but honestly, in observations, he is juggling with so much (budget, job cuts, bunch of world leader's and society really ponding on him to fix things.) Thought it will take time, I think that when we all keep on looking to Obama, we're just delaying more and more things, and in the end we're just going to complain about what he is failing to do.
Now do I think he should respons swiftly and ASAP to events like the Lee/Ling Hostage in North Korea, Middle East Crisis? Yes, but with consideration that he is doing so much already. So, I'd be satisfied if he relased a statement soon, and be happy. We know he is going to somehow help out, but we should really look at the UN for aide. Why look at one to solve, when we can look at ALL leaders, and somehow hope (maybe even with Obama spearheading) they can come up with peaceful actions and solutions.
So before you say "Obama, why (or should) did (or didn't) he do ______", just think about the mess that he has to clean. He's one man, working his best.
With no offence intended towards anyone,
