The Bush-Cheney administration had betrayed some basic American values. So there was hunger for change.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Much has changed since the end of the Cold War that augurs well for the survival of our nation.
The people who voted for President Obama are just beginning to wake up to exactly what they brought in. The 'change' they envisioned is not the 'change' they have gotten.
Change comes with both fear and some pain. Those two ingredients create mistrust, misunderstanding and misinformation. Such is the process of democracy.
It turned out that the country was helpless in the face of a new reality.
We just seem to have lost all our morals and principles and values these days.
I just don't understand how Kerry or Obama or anybody else thought Assad was going to change.
The problem was with Bill Clinton, the scandals and rumored scandals, the incubating ones and the dying ones never ended. Whatever moral compass the president was consulting was leading him in the wrong direction. His closets were full of skeletons just waiting to burst out.
There is a hunger for the United States to be present again.
Americans are hungry for change both at home and in our relations with the rest of the world.
The terrorist attacks upon our country changed the way that we live forever and provided us with a cruel reminder that freedom and liberty have a price.
