Happy Birthday Mr. President

Today is 50th Birthday of one of my favorite President's of United States of America.. I really like you Mr. Obama.. Mr. President, I hope you are getting some break and enjoying your day. 

I think you are way too nice for this nations politics.. I really feel that you need to be slightly more aggressive and tougher on issues.. We need to attack basic and fundamental problems this country is facing... We need to be clear and loud in our messaging that there is no short cut to success.. This country is built by hard work and genius forefathers.. We are enjoying today because of the hard work done in past and should continue the legacy rather than get into habit of enjoying and escaping from hard work. 

Debt Ceiling issue is reminder to us that current path is not sustainable.. We have to act fast and ready to take painful decisions.. We need to change our habits of spending beyond our means.. actually way beyond our means.. I was really hoping to see some tough action from your side.. however, I think Republicans took literal hostage of you this time.. and they had reasons for it.. in December 2010, the way you negotiated with them and literally gave them whatever they needed.. That showed them that you are really flexible and they continued to try limits of flexibility this time..  

This century is all about Intellectual Property and we should continue to focus on improving and ensuring that our education system is catching up.. All the kids are getting education and are not afraid of science, maths and other creative education streams.. We have great infrastructure available to us providing great quality of life and extremely solid higher education system (though slightly expensive..).. Any kid who really wants to get great quality education can get it.. We just need motivation for it.. We need to leverage our university systems and make sure that everyone gets great education and contributes to society and more importantly our planet earth..
