Incremental Change is NOT enough.

[Skwmom]

Our country and planet is in serious trouble. Incremental change (which is the absolute best one can hope for when the American Public is so polarized by the politics of divide and conquer)is not going to cut it. We need someone who can unite the CITIZENS of this country, who can remind people that "we are ALL Americans" in this together.

When a polarizing person is in charge, they will NEVER be able to garner enough trust to move this country forward. And to those who view change as a "false hope" I can only conclude that they have surrendered to the notion that our system is irretrievably broken and our problems insurmountable.

1. Find out the fundamental issues that most people agree on and

put together a platform around those issues. But your not going to get everyone in agreement on what those issues are or how to deal with them.

2. This sounds like John McCain's platform!

Problem solved (sarcasm).

3. You seem to forget there is another half the country who may

not agree.

Do not expect any dramatic change. Most of the time
will be spent cleaning up Bush's Mess if Democrats
actually win.

4. When the majority of people feel strongly enough about that

Then they'll elect those advocating it.

5. Obama better get specific--so we know what he really

bedlieves and advocates.
