I would also be trying to believe that he is NOT Bush and that things would be in some measure better. In fact, when he first announced his candidacy, I thought to myself that this was a republican I could learn to live with. It was the hate speech and ugly racism and bigotry that dashed those hopes, and the candidates made their contributions to that dialog. Having said that, in the aftermath of such a hotly contested campaign, at the very least the tenor of the rhetoric needs to be dialed back considerably on both sides.

My impressions of your posts are based on everything I have witnessed come out of your mouth for as long as I have been on this forum. A kinder, gentler sam will take a little time to get used to. You certainly are entitled to your doubts and today I have noticed a definite shift in the edge on your rhetoric. I am probably having the same trouble you may be having in dialing back but I am giving it my best shot, as I believe you are too. We probably will get better at it with a little practice. I really wouldn't expect more than that at this point...just can't help hoping that we all are in for better days ahead and am pretty anxious to see that come about.

Big Three's European Divisions Could Show Ailing U.S. Industry the Way Back...sm
Why are the profitable in Europe? Could it be because they have no unions? It's real hard to find the positive information on the Big 3 outside of the U.S. It's almost as if someone doesn't want us to know and compare the differences...again, it probably boils down to the unions.... GM also just opened a plant in Russia.

I think it shows character on Obama's part and I pray for her comfort and healing if that is God&
and for comfort and peace for her family.
