2. Their politicking instead of doing their job has hurt us for years. If they have ideas that merit

the support of Americans, now is their chance.

Put them forward in an open public debate and not in biased reports by media. Real time with the questions being asked that Americans need answered.

This is good. Obama is a transformative leader. He has consistently asked for the American people to give input, decide the direction we want our nation to go, and what we want it to be.

He respects the reality of diverse opinions and will work for what Americans decide. He believes that we can work together for our common good.

Whatever is best from those who oppose him and his policies, should be considered in light of what is best for all, not just a few. His job is to represent all of us, not just his supporters.

For this he is being called names but that denies the fact that half the country is not liberal. He can't represent just one side and force the other, that is not democracy.

All sides should get in the debate and we should get to a better way of going forward than in the past, respecting those who share common values that advance the interests of mankind.

Thanks for your comment.
