I will go thru is slower.

If you want an open discussion, this is the place.

If you feel any and all criticisms of our president are "bashing" then maybe you should stay in the BOG.

Seem to me like some what it both ways.

We all think Pres Obama is a warm and loving individual and certainly better than any Republican. Some of us want to remind him that we elected him to represent us and not the 1%. Others here are looking for someone to trust unequivocally. I can see how that would make life easier.
