<<Obama impresses me because he is able to not only draw Democrats, but independents and even Republicans. I've talked to multiple Republicans who actually like Obama. They don't agree with him on all the issues, but they actually like him, and will listen to him. And he does this without Clinton-style triangulation. He does this without selling out principles like Lieberman. Obama doesn't go for cynicism. He doesn't throw people under the bus. He's one of those really rare true uniters.>>

and you think they are all going to fall into line and sing Kumbaya or I'd like to teach the world to sing? George Bush has been a divider & those in the republican party really know the politics of division. think you've heard the last of racism? think again. it has been accepted in this country for the last 7 years and it will continue to fester. the republicans will see to it. as for his principles, are you aware that Lieberman is his mentor? and he may not throw people under the bus, but his supporters do ... they are throwing the boomers, the seniors, the disadvantaged, the poor, those on social security ... they are equal opportunity throwers. they'll throw anybody under the bus and as long as obama says or does nothing to the supporters doing this in HIS NAME, then he is guilty of it as well. all i hear is ME, ME, ME, ME.......... when do we get to hear WE, WE, WE instead?
