The people that need to be moved are (and have been for decades) so entrenched in their idealogy that I can't see anyone persuading them to change. My feeling about Barack Obama is simply "Why do you want this (the presidency)? What motivates you?" Twenty children are gunned down and what is America's reaction-buy more guns!!! I'm at a complete loss to explain anything anymore.
