I think I am a right wing liberal.

I am ok with obama so far. I hope the people to the left of me don't hold my position as a enemy.

1. I'm a socialist who is willing to

take steps towards my goals rather than leaping blindly off a cliff hoping I can get there faster. Yea, I might land safely but I could also end up as a splotch on the ground.

Obama has at times disappointed me and at other times made me proud. He is definitely not my enemy and neither are you.

2. Thanks! My thoughts exactly.

Pragmatism has some sacrifices along the way.

This is a definite improvement from what we had and the alternative.

I don't want to see Obama get deep 6ed along the way, either.

It may take awhile but let's do it.

6. I really don't, even though I don't agree with you..

When my son was very small and we were visiting my mil, he did something naughty and I raised my voice, my mil raised her voice, and my husband raised his voice. And my mil stopped and said, "Not everybody!" -- It just wasn't good for my son to be hollered at by all three adults who were with him. Absolutely correct. Wise lady, my mil. It never happened again.

Anyway, I am very disillusioned by Pres. Obama. I won't go into the details why in this discussion here. My point is, I think it wouldn't be good if all of us were verbalizing discontent with him. Too much of that would be overkill and could backfire. I also happen to think it wouldn't be good for all of us to cheer his every move. That would certainly send the wrong signal and wouldn't help him do better.

So, I'm not holding anything against you. You are 100% entitled to your opinion and your feelings. We probably agree on plenty of other things. Besides, I don't engage in namecalling, and being mean doesn't change what's in people's hearts.
