BARACK OBAMA: victory speech
"The road ahead (it) will be long.
Our climb (it) will be steep.
We as a people will get there.
(But it will not be cheap.)"
What is the peak we have to scale?
The road, where does it go?
What is the cost to follow him?
We really ought to know.
Perhaps he does not see a peak.
He could be in a pit
That into which no light can shine
And so he can't see it.
Maybe his road has not an end
That's clear as it might seem.
It's been so long he may not see
His end is still "the Dream".
When he explains the costs to us
What items will there be,
Our bank account, our way of life
And our philosophy?
The speech inspired but we need more.
His words do not shine far.
If we can't see a lighted end
We'll end up where we are.
Barack Obama: attack on greed
Barack Obama: a cautionary view;
Barack Obama: fighting for change;
Barack Obama: my hope
Barack Obama: inauguration day
Barack Obama: professing change
Barack Obama: sacrificing lives
Barack Obama: healthcare
Barack Obama: his Gulf oil war
Barack Obama: winning the future

It seems I am reading non-believers in President Obama not encouragement or the possibility of success. You are what we think we are unless we believe we can achieve and try to succeed in today!

Thanks for your comment. Although it doesn't make much sense it gives me the opportunity to say the day you stop believing in President Obama will be the day you see the "possibility of success".
I am wondering why you would have things on your webbsite writtin by the devil himself, I will take my chances with God, last I heard Obama was a communist,and he is leading our country to HELL Jim Kelly Pinehurst,NC.

I am wondering if the next person who reads this comment will also question why you haven't been committed. This is an absolutely insane comment. Doug.E.Barr
What are your feelings now that Barrack has been in office for almost one year? Do you think he has inspired change ? I think Barrack message is not quite understood.by some. Barrack preaches change as a nation not as a pupil. So if you want change as an indivisual you must seek that from within.Nobody can offer change in your life but self.Everything that each president from day one has done in office has impacted us all. So wake up world we have a black president and no matter what people believe. Obama will do the best that he can possibly do with this mess we all have created for society.So dont be so eager ,change takes time, It will come ,for those that have a lil faith.

President Obama has not inspired change. Inspired change requires a vision and Barack Obama sees only the same old "American Dream". "Obama will do the best that he can possibly do with this mess we all have created" chasing "The Dream" but nothing will change. Without a vision we will only perpetuate the nightmare; we will never "wake up". Doug.E.Barr
Our prayers are with President Obama.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I question your prayerful effort. You probably also prayed for George Bush along with millions of others, for eight years. George and his cabinet also prayed for themselves before they began their meetings. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't GB considered by about 75% of you and your fellow Americans to be the worst president in your history? Can you imagine how much God hates being associated with that rating. Indeed, just in case what seems to be happening happens, if you have any concern for God's reputation, rather than pray for President Obama I would advise him to quit saying at the end of his speeches, "May God bless the United States of America.". Doug.E.Barr
God continue to order President Obama walk. Please help him to do your will. We all pray for President Obama everyday. President Obama is doing a fantastic job as President. He has done so much to help all people. He is very intelligent and very committed to the American people. We need to respect and honor him like we did all the other Presidents. After all he has totally transformed our healthcare system into one we can all be proud of. I believe all people deserve healthcare. Great Job President Obama! May God Continue to Bless you and your family. God Bless President Obama!!!

I think Obama's approval rating was over 80% when he won the election. His approval rating is now 27% and his disapproval rating is 44% for a differential of -17. If I was President Obama and believed God was blessing me because of your prayers, I would be asking you to pray that God bless the Republicans instead. Doug.E.Barr
I am a new person to this page. I have to say this was shocking. How did you feel about bush?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why was this shocking? Doug.E.Barr
If I am following this correctly Doug, you are actually agree with Jim...classic!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jim didn't go anywhere. There was nothing to follow. If you were following anything it sounds like it was a "classic" preconceived notion. Doug.E.Barr
God annoit, men appoint and a poet hangs on every word
It is also very important to get our message heard, as a Poet
we are suppose to ring of truth, integrity and honor, from our youth,
Just like a little bird, I remember the loud whisper from our President's words,"I cannot do
this by myself, it will take each and everyone of us to get up, we are up,
we are all fired up and ready to go!" When Bush said," Good luck undoing quite a few
laws I knotted", a war and a financial hell hole, for you I leave disposed
And who was the man who said Barack the magic negro
Good luck becoming our hero
As a President, he said he'd find the money line by line,
Now delusional people quite a few white, republican, tea baggers and the old Klu..
Except for the one percent let's pull the plug on the old and crush the hope of the youth
Radther than a black man run the country from these hate mongers, what's new?
I am a metaphysical poet and I worked hard on health care too
and since it has been voted upon my hope in health care is coming true
But like most you swim in the drama and blame Barak Obama
Did you vote for the war? Have you counted the Republicans who said
sure kill all the old children and the poor, I guess when we are all gone
the one percent will have no need for war they will be all alone?
