"What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger..."

[Blue_Roses]

as long as the "lesson" being taught heeds learning. That is something that rings so loud and clear every time I face something disappointing. Simple but true. While the loss in MA is a major disappointment, I can't help but feel optimistic. Bush never acknowledged that he was wrong--on anything and that was the beginning of his demise as President. I don't know exactly what needs "fixing," or the solution, but I have no doubt, President Obama will look at this and other things that cause "bumps" in the road, as a "refocusing" point. And THAT in itself, shows what a great leader he is.:)

George Stephanopoulos still gets on my nerves, but this interview is very optimistic:

And just to reiterate my sig line: "You cannot solve a problem from the same level of thinking that created it."--Albert Einstein

We have the RIGHT President at the RIGHT time. He stands to only grow wiser and stronger in his leadership!

1. Kicked for truth!

2. Yes, that's what you do

when you're there to solve problems..not create them.

Not everything is going to come out perfect even though we had a good start by getting rid of the ilk that created the problems during the bushcheney years.

3. but some of the same thinking in the last few days has gone into

"solving" them ...such as the Supreme Court decision. This regurgitated decision is so typical of republican thinking. Just like they think that lowering taxes will solve everything. They never, NEVER come up with anything original.

4. The first few years of FDR's presidency were rough going too.

And he is considered one of the greatest Presidents.

So it could be for Obama. Time will tell.
