I'm trying to be positive; I'm naturally a glass- half-full kind of man.

The rah-rah positive feelings will receed in two to three weeks. Nobody can pay their bills with feelings, no matter how positive they feel. Nothing has changed. It's just another day.

It seems to be a poor argument to complain that he offers nothing.
He won the job. It matters not whether it was by the strength of his vast intellect, gobs of Geo Soros' money, no opposition, or dumb luck. He has the job. He has been sworn in, twice!
Now is the time to see if he can get anything done. I would agree with you that I expect to disagree with his (presumed) socialistic approach, but until some legislation is actually presented, it does no good to argue about it.
As they say, the devil is in the details".

The longer that Republicans complain that Democrats vote only based on feelings, the longer the Democrats will remain in control.

If you deliberately misunderstand your enemy and you lose, it is your own fault.

I did not vote for him, nor have I seen anything that gives me "HOPE" from his party..... That said, I pray for him everyday that God would put sound decisions on his heart & mind....He is our "PRESIDENT".....and needs our prayers..
