Let's please heed the President's call - and focus on his message, not on criticizing his opponents

[Empowerer]

Tonight, let's not cheapen the President's beautiful, heartfelt and inspirational message by engaging in negativity (even if we feel it's deserved). I don't want to think about the lowest common denominators in our society but would rather keep our eyes looking forward and upward.

So I urge everyone, at least for tonight, not to bash Palin or Boehner, et al. After all, their words and actions speak for themselves. I'm going to try to stay positive.

2. As another DUer said, the President took the high road. It would

be nice if, just for tonight, we could attempt that, too.

9. I know it's very tempting . . . If taking the high ground were easy, we'd all do it all the time ...

[butterfly77]

10. I'll stop ..

when they do..but it will take years,they are already at it on cspan with their comments.

[Empowerer]

11. And since they probably won't stop until we do, we're right back at square one

I understand the frustration, but I'm going to try to follow the President's lead.

[butterfly77]

12. Good for you!

[emilyg]

15. So don't be like them.

[butterfly77]

16. I am not.

going to let them walk all over me,with their nonsense.If they are reasonable I will be reasonable withing limits I don't trust them. Get back with me same time next week.

[Clio the Leo]

13. I will certainly try ....

.... it will be hard, but the President told us it wasn't going to be an easy journey. ;)

[jwirr]

20. Can we still tell about their activity even if it is not good or is this

time to not say anything if we cannot say something good? We are kind of stifled (Edith Bunker style) if that is the case.

21. Tonight... tomorrow, we shall see...

Given the reports of nastiness already drifting our way from those who simply will not give it a rest at all, I make no promises beyond that.
