Hey Digital.
Thank you for your response. I like a good healthy, respectful debate:up:
Why do you admire Obama? For his on camera fortitude or his past work? Admiration is something that is earned over time, not scripted to delight an audience. And his past work, well whether your R or D, leaves a lot to be desired. I like positive people and I like Obama's positive spirit but already he has displayed why this cynical nature exist in U.S. politics by promoting people who have shown to be less than admirable people and of course all partisan as of now. (Both Clintons and a few others.) I would feel the same if Obama were a Republican. Why would Obama do this instead of starting out fresh with people less polar and more trustworthy? Because in a nutshell, his campaign was fluffy and said what everyone wanted to hear until he got the job. Now he appears as partisan as all the rest by his actions alone. Now comes the time to scratch backs in return. Surprised? Not in the least. Disappointed? Yes. So far, politics as usual? Looks that way. This is contrary to McCain's history of being quite bi-partisan on many occasions. We need a new start not ushering in ANY of the old problematic people and their past failed agenda. Honestly I'm sure people who voted for him are starting to think this as well.
Do you really believe any of these non-partisan groups are actually truly 100% non partisan? Who do you think funds them? Republican and Democrats. That IS being manipulated by a media outlet of which you cannot and never will be able to confirm with all certainty that they produce legitimate non partisan results. Well you could try actually if they are an NPO and you ask for a copy of their 990. But that may not make you feel to great when you see it in black and white. SO if you based your vote for president off of these non partisan group's reports, more than likely you have been dooped and of course manipulated.
It's difficult to temper my caution when there is a president elect waiting in the wings that has already proven to be less than admirable. Actually to be quite honest, I was hoping Obama would be a breath of fresh air but...
Again, I ask what tangible action(s) of Obama do you admire or is it just his tenacious promising diatribe that you admire? I ask this with absolutely no ill intent. It is a serious question as I may have missed something that I need to educate myself on. << no sarcasm meant whatsoever. Seriously, please think about this for a moment. What are you basing your admiration on? Sounds to me like political posturing and canned rhetoric.
I think this country is done with right and left politics and it's time to move towards a middle ground. I'm sick of liberals. I'm sick of Conservatives. I'm sick of psycho overly religious people and hippy-Cumbiya protesters. LOL
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Despite our different opinion, I'm sure we both have an enormous amount of things to be thankful for.
Our children for one thing and I hope yours are healthy and happy. That's all that really matters to me anyway.
P.S. I'm curious why you didn't comment on my Hiroshima analogy? Seems like Democrats never want to talk about this unimaginable hell Truman caused. What's good for the goose..... This is a kettle issue if I've ever seen one, to the absolute extreme. If Harry was a Republican you know Democrats would still be bringing it up in the media. I'm so glad I'm neither.

I would have liked to have seen a Rice/ Lieberman ticket.
