One Thing That Everybody Can Agree On.
Doesn't matter whether you're left or right, up or down, east or west, Obama exposes and highlights the contradictions and flaws in "the system" in a manner that allows constructive focus on it.

And that is the change we need.


In the past, our politicians, both sides, have been selling "wedge issues" to us to get elected. Wedge issues do nothing but keep the greedy feeding at the trough and that's why we got stuck.

All we need now is to learn how to be more civil to each other. :smoke:

1. I'll agree that President Obama certainly ferments a lot of debate
on just about every issue.

I actually consider this a good thing!

9. Agreed, except for that small teagaggin' fringe that won't
agree with anything that person says. Jeanine Garafolo hit that nail on the head last night.

But those of us who are thinking persons should welcome his serious approach. All anyone has to do is look at the rethugs to see how not to, again, handle 'the system'.

11. Yeah but it's helping them nevertheless. Just like we see
them, they are also seeing themselves in a way they are't used to. It's helping them get better perspective if they can see themselves and how the world around them reacts.

This one is for the lovers, the haters and all the in-betweens. :toast:
