Hardball With President Obama - I Don't Think There Is A Repug In This Country That.......

can hold his own and answer questions as candidly and sincerely and in a way that people can understand - like this man.

I just can't picture a G.W. Bush or a Rmoney in the same situation.

What a wonderful interview and the more I hear this man - the more I like him.

I was expecting Tweets to be an arse, but it seems it was an excellent interview, so I guess I was wrong.

Happy to be wrong.

I've seen this person that many seen tonight since he first came to the oval office. He's sincere, he's honest and he's working his bippy off for us trying to level the playing field for all Americans.

I sensed greatness too...something very bright....

My now ex boyfriend, the drama guy abusive alcoholic, went berserk and said things I will not type.
Repeatedly.

Should have opened my eyes then but emotionally wasn't ready for a few years....



But anyway, back to the point..... I admit that there were times when on the surface things looked bad and I started to doubt my senses. The "he sucks" screaming got to me at times and I wondered if they were right.

Not as in, hmmm there's a valid criticism among many good--no, outstanding--things, but rather: he totally sucks! He's for the corporations! He's anti-gay! He sucks!!!! Blargle!

My initial impression was like yours--honest. Sincere. Compassionate. Willing to listen and change his mind. Smart as hell. Authentic. Not in it for the big cowboy hat but truly wanting and capable of doing the work to improve the system.

I wish he had another 4 years and a PROGRESSIVE Democratic cabinet.
