Voices: Give him a chance




Americans wanted change so bad they were willing to elect a president with the middle name Hussein, the name of the tyrant we attacked and killed, Saddam Hussein.

If a nation wants change that bad, we can know for a fact we are fed up with false hope and unfulfilled promises.

We only hope Barack Obama will bring the necessary change America needs to bring us back from the loss of respect we have suffered the past eight years.

Obama is less than 100 days in office and many people are ready to evaluate him. Give President Obama a chance, give him time and give him your respect. If you fail to do this, you are unpatriotic and fail to realize how much we really need change from the damage already created.
