This is what many supporters have been trying to tell Obama during his first 4 years. I would like to believe that he really understands the words he is speaking. In the last few days with Republican taunts that Obama is trying to politicize politics, he seems to be already backing away. It is up to us, to keep Obama’s feet to the fire.

It is discouraging to hear reports from Republicans that in a meeting with them Obama said that he understands the need to balance the budget, but many of his supporters do not.

That’s hogwash, and Obama should not ever say things like this unless he unfortunately actually believes this. If he actually believes this, that is even worse.

This supporter believes in balancing the budget when it is the correct thing to do during the right time in the economic cycle. Now is not that time.

This supporter believes that we need to balance the budget in a way that turns-around the tremendous shift of wealth in the last 30 years from the middle-class to the extremely wealthy. We need to shift some of that wealth back to the middle and lower classes.

We need to bring the budget to balance by growing the economy in such a way that each segment of the economy including the government can afford to do its necessary part.
