...others here with WAY more political experience and knowledge than me:
What kind of NATIONAL leadership do we need going forward on this? How should/could President Obama and other prominant Democratic leaders (JK?) succeed in turning things around?
What I mean by that is that we don't debate the individual vs. community needs problem in a way that could unite us and provide solutions to some of our biggest problems (health care, immigration, education, etc.).
I have long felt that this country has a 'selfishness' problem. People only vote for what they personnally want and rarely consider their neighbor's plight. People haven't been able to use empathy in deciding how to vote.
I think empathy can be taught by our leaders. But HOW?
