obama nation

[DanaC]

What's needed is some kind of rapprochement I think. The polarisation of the last decade or so has done such harm and caused such unhappiness and cultural unease, it is time for that to change. I hope that this can be done.

Of course, the radical in me wuold love to see a bold program righting the wrongs (as I perceive them) and fixing the problems fast. But...Obama needs to walk a careful line. This vote is a mandate for change. Therefore he owes it to his electorate to deliver change. But, he also has to bring about healing, and that won't happen if he alienates those who are uneasy with radical reform.
