I am so very proud of you all. [View all]

You have been picking your battles wisely. You have not allowed yourselves to be manipulated by people who simply like to stir up trouble. This will be extremely important as we move forward into election season.

I feel that we have made significant progress in relations with other groups on DU since the 2008 election. We have a diverse group of hosts here in the Obama Group and there's a reason for that - we're Democrats. As such, we have men, women, African Americans, caucasians, and LGBT hosts (just what I know off the top of my head).

I point this out because lord only knows what the next controversy will be that someone will attempt to create on DU. By the way, will the hosts chime in if they represent any other race/ethnicity/religion/non-religion/etc.? I think everyone should and would like to know just how diverse a place this is.
