Obama relaunches campaign, too many questions remain.

     President Obama officially re-lauched his campaign early today. He sent out emails, urging his supporters to help continue the same fight, fought in the 2008 elections. He stated: "We've always known that lasting change wouldn't come quickly or easily. It never does..."But as my administration and folks across the country fight to protect the progress we've made — and make more — we also need to begin mobilizing for 2012, long before the time comes for me to begin campaigning in earnest."

     Over two years has passed since President Obama took office, and honestly, I am still waiting for change to come. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate was 8.5% when Obama took office in January of 2008. 6 months later the rate was 9.7%. A year later, in Jan of '10, the rate 10.6, culminating with the highest rate of 10.4% in February 2011. The unemployment rate in January of this year was 9.8%. Unemployment is argue-ably the biggest concern on the mind of American Voters. Combine unemployment rates with the sky high gas prices and I am pissed, you are pissed, most of America is pissed.
     Our government is also facing a possible shutdown. Democrats do not want to cut the budget. Republicans are simply asking for 2.6 cents off every dollar spent. 2.6 cents is nothing, yet the Democrats are not willing to compromise. 
    Do not get me wrong, I too hoped Obama would bring change, but two years later, not many positive changes have emerged out of Washington DC. Looking forward to the 2012 elections, the Republican Party has a chance to reclaim DC once again. There are promising candidates expected to announce their bid later this month. Personally, I am currently crossing my fingers for Mitt Romney. He seems to have all the characteristics to make a great president. But I guess only time will tell.... as we have learned, promising change does not guarantee change.
