16. Just in case you didn't realize it

you posted in the Obama Group and we do not allow anyone to say he's as much of a corporatist as the Bush crime family, but with a nice smile and a pleasant demeanor, etc.

I'm very pleased that you'll happily vote for Obama again. I wish we were a completely socialist nation, myself. Perhaps we will be one day. I hate the income disparity we have, war profiteering, racism and sexism, too. I do see some improvement in racism and sexism on an official level, and some improvement in LGBTQ issues on an official level, but there is much work to be done.

Discussion on those topics can be done here, but only in terms of what we can do to improve things, not to say that the Obama Admin is horrible on, or doesn't care about, those issues. Do you see the difference? We strive to effect positive change here rather than rend our clothing.

For the other type of discussion, GD or Politics would be the better places to post. Take several changes of clothing, just to be on the safe side.

Remember, when you have positive suggestions, please DO come here to post them. As the election approaches we will need as many people involved as we can get. And we will need to stay involved because the next 4 years are crucial to getting as much done on the issues you raised as possible. These years are what we have been waiting for, really. And we also HAVE to work to elect as many Democrats to the House and Senate as possible. That's absolutely the key to getting our agenda passed.

Please get involved if you haven't already. Well, I'm sure you have. Sorry for the speech.
