trying to sleep during Pres Obama's speech
just wanted to say to someone... I am stuck in Chicago O'Hare for god only knows how long (bad weather), trying to sleep on these uncomfortable chairs and listening to President Obama's speech to Parliament in the background... I realize I find great comfort in his voice...

I am often distraught by his lack of aggressiveness towards liberal ideals and want much more; but I am cognizant that our President is a good man and am also pleased by so much of what he is and does...

2. Sorry you're 'stuck.'
As to PrezO + aggressiveness, as I see it he's a super politician, meaning he knows negotiating is the key, and aggressiveness is NOT useful re: negotiating, just turns people off > counter-productive.

Hope you get outta there!

:hi:

3. You are right
I have been involved in negotiations where there have been aggressive people - they just make everyone else want to fight.
