and think about what will WORK. Sometimes what is eventually going to work may not look palatable on the surface. The fact is that America is a great divide between left and right, that is clear. GW Bush exploited that and disaster has resulted. Obama has been saying since he began his presidential run that he was going to be a UNITER. Did you think that meant that he was going do what Bush did, by simply pandering to his base?

Being a UNITER means connecting with people that do not share your particular view of the world. We will get no where if we only accept those that only agree with us.

Whether we like it or not, this is a good political move. It silences the right wing religious on their insane fearful views of what they think Obama was going to do to their religious expression and takes the air out of the right wing machine and their fear mongering.

Change comes slowly. If Obama pushes a far left progressive agenda, that only strengthens his opposition. This guy is a master chess player. Sit back, observe, and wait and see.
