And one of those changes IMHO is the need to get rid of the extreme partisanship taking place in our government recently. If Obama is going to be a successful president and accomplish the goals he has set for himself and his administration he is going to have to include Republicans in the effort in some manner. I wasn't suggesting it as a realistic possibility in any case, more of a what if scenario. Even so, didn't Lincoln do that after the Civil War for the same reason - to make government more inclusive and to help heal the wounds of a severely divided country? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "StrataList-OT" group.
