is America being selfish?

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — He warned them in 2008, and when he formally opened his re-election campaign in May, he put it in his speech again. He will “never be a perfect president,” he said, a line he now repeats at stop after stop. The unspoken subtext: It’s not my fault if you didn’t listen or expected too much.
If rapturous supporters in Denver four years ago were not paying attention, those expected here on Thursday night surely know better. This is not a perfect president; this is a proud yet humbled president, a confident yet scarred president, a dreamer mugged by reality, a pragmatist confounded by ideology, a radical to some, a sellout to others.
Pres. is smarter than a 5th grader, he has learned from his mistakes no miscalculations, i think you only make mistakes when you are wrong. 
but still he have that dark cloud over the House that has been nothing but bad weather for "we the people". 
not to re-elect is the biggest mistake we can make in this new millenium, 12 years into it and the country is still the disappointment it always has been for those of us who were deny the elusive American dream, elusive by design. but this time we are being included with still attempts to thwart the effort.
only "we the people" can put us back on track the right can't do it because they are on a entirely different railrosd, the Prs. "yes we can".  
but are we harping on it's to slow because the right said it was and feeling the pain helped to accept that misleading, misinformation?  
it's happenning, it's coming' it's going on now, if you are still in the hole the light is on look up, depending on who you vote for will determine if a ladder gets put down that hole.
This is a president who has yet to realize the lofty expectations that propelled him from obscurity to the Oval Office, whose idealism or naïveté or hubris has been tempered by four years in the fires. Long after the messiah jokes vanished, the oh-so-mortal Barack Hussein Obama is left to make the case that while progress is slow, he is taking America to a better place — and that he will be a better president over the next four years.
