Race relations are a very complex subject but at least Obama is trying.

Obama's spring 2008 talk on race in America was one of the best and deepest looks at the
subject in a long time. And what I am seeing now he is still working on it and on the subject

of police / minority interactions too. Obama is working to dial back the angry talk and I think
many of us @ DU could learn something from him.

1. Right, he is working hard at everything and sometimes not even much help with his own party. Sure,

he has had to do some give and take of which even some of us have not understood or liked. He has taken heat from the left, the right, middle, all over the place but has continued to try and find a way to get the necessary things done. I still think he will make it and I sure as hell am proud I got to cast my vote for him. After all, what is it, a little over 6 months.

2. The man has got a 30% reduction in the amount of nuclear warheads ....

.. in the world (USA & Russia) in the first 5 months in office. That alone is kinda of major.

3. Don't tell anyone about that, or anything else he's done.....

They'd rather shit on him instead. Makes them feel smart or something.
