Well it seems safe enough in here I guess I'll give it a shot and post.I've actually been lurking on DU probably since 2000 or so but never posted before.Usually way too negative and I've had no desire to post something and be slammed by people usually over nothing usually.
But this seems like fairly safe waters especially considering I support President Obama whole heartedly.It's so nice to have a really smart person in charge for once in this country.Anyway you'll have to forgive me on here as I have a very bad tendency to ramble.It's nice to find a place on here that's actually positive about things.The one thing I've never quite gotten about DU is just the sheer black and whiteness of pretty much every issue.
It strikes me that when it comes to governance almost everything is a matter of shades of gray and almost no issue is pure black and white and people want to put every piece of legislation every attribute into neat little categories instead no nuance required.I don't know I guess I just get far more pragmatic as I get older and less idealistic and make less and less sense of wanting everything your way while not accepting political realities.
Anyway that's probably a horrid introduction but never have been good at em.Nice to meet you all and hope to talk to you in the future.Um by the way anyone know how I can get and put an obama image to go with my name.I"m afraid I"m not smart enough to figure that one out.
