We cannot pigeonhole the agenda of the President. The complexity of what is wrong in America is deeply imbedded in what is wrong within our souls. They penetrate into the dark specter of our core values, our propensity towards war, and our shared lack of historical perspective on the why and how of our present state of affairs lands squarely into the arena of public outcries that were mute during President George W. Bush’s reign. Why? The average American citizen is polarized into sitting positions, agitated in corners, misinformed, and tragically taught to be content in corners.
President Obama set high standards in his life, and conveyed them to us during a time when American intellectual, emotional, and spiritual development was arrested, and the national consciousness, you would think as basic to world power is dormant, asleep! The commitment millions of Americans made to this presidency was to place themselves into the depth of introspection, and self-development, and lastly to participate because one man cannot fix what is wrong in America. In light of what is wrong here we cannot continue to argue over points without the prerequisite historical insight into the issues, spiritual maturity, or the emotional strength to listen deeply to the sides of the many stories at work. How many decades have conservative, Christians fought against health care, and voted against their best interests? How long? Why? Why does it continue the inconsistencies on both sides of the problems this far into our history?
If we are going to support what is good for everyone in this country then our view needs to be global, not the traditional island mentality we hold dear as US citizens. –Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of the Sacred Medicine Wheels
