It is about the American people. When something is not ready, it is not working, it is not right, then we owe it to them to do the right thing and say, 'Let's hold.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We are telling the American people to have patience, courage, resolve and determination.
To sit back and say, 'Oh, we're going to let the government do whatever they want, right or wrong,' is giving up.
When America does what's right, it's such a light on this planet.
Americans are calling for a return to common sense in how we solve problems and how the people communicate with their government.
When millions of Americans are tightening their belts, folks have the right to expect their elected officials to do the same.
If we think we have ours and don't owe any time or money or effort to help those left behind, then we are a part of the problem rather than the solution to the fraying social fabric that threatens all Americans.
For me, this is a familiar image - people in the organization ready and willing to do good work, wanting to contribute their ideas, ready to take responsibility, and leaders holding them back, insisting that they wait for decisions or instructions.
There's nothing wrong in America that can't be fixed by what's right in America.
What's right about America is that although we have a mess of problems, we have great capacity - intellect and resources - to do some thing about them.
Our people expect the best of us. They send us to take care of the people's business, and those of us who take hold of that responsibility understand that's what it's really about.
