Well said indeed.

People who know how far to the left I stand even from Kucinich sometimes wonder about my loyalty to this president. But he has to be pragmatic and full of long range plans as you described so well in order to move the country forward an inch. I respect and appreciate that. Big ships turn slow.

As to that and President Obama's tendency to play things a little close to the vest, someone close (was it Biden?) cleverly warned people, "Do not EVER play poker with that man." Sounds like he might've spoken from experience. If the Secret Service can only keep him alive long enough, we might see a beautiful new day dawning in America. I always thought of President Obama as our Bobby returned to us.

I agree with this strategy, John2 Mar 2013 #1
