No Drama Obama

No drama Obama. The white house under this President is, proudly, now a drama free zone. Steady, sober, practical, rational. Ah yes, now this is the stuff of good responsible governance. Solid, middle of the road, and completely uninspired. For isn't true inspiration one of the purest forms of drama there is? During the campaign what Obama represented to so many was change - real change. We wanted it so badly we were ready to elect an Afro-American President years before we otherwise would have. We sense the shit hitting the fan - I mean really hitting the fan - precisely at a time when corporate influence, big money, and extremes of ideology has disrupted checks and balances, and the very ability of our government to govern. This at a time when we face far reaching problems on a global scale that threaten our children's very existence. This is not a time for middle of the road and practical. This is the time for greatness, true inspiration, and all the drama such immense problems require. For a smart guy he just doesn't seem to get it. There is a psychopathology here influencing what is otherwise a great intellect - keeping him from greatness. He needs to allow drama into his house, needs to hear the passionate advice of inspired men and women - not just middle of the road. He needs to embrace the immense problems we face, address broken government, and get us on the direction of change and repair. He needs to allow himself drama and vision and greatness.
