It also presumes that a president should only listen to half the country--the half he agree's with. THAT is the republicans way of running the country. <br /><br />Our President has made it clear. He is President of all americans, not just the 'chosen' few.zlydonnanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-40583993674079844772015-08-07T16:16:16.727-05:002015-08-07T16:16:16.727-05:00President Obama is the first Dem since LBJ who doe...President Obama is the first Dem since LBJ who does NOT pander to the Right. Talking with someone is the best way to hear their views, the ideological basis for said views, and then to muster powerful points in opposition. Deciding in advance you won't listen means you're prima facie, NOT president but autocrat. Bluster is good theater. It is horrible governance.Churchlady320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-69802427905020187722015-08-06T17:09:13.231-05:002015-08-06T17:09:13.231-05:00Oh wait, I forgot: "bully pulpit".

The dull Leftie's answer to how the President can rule as an emperor, if he would just bother to.<br /><br />Just a reminder, LBJ couldn't get more than 8% of Southern Democrats to back the Civil Rights Act. So I think we can place an upper limit of 8% on how many hearts and minds the bully pulpit is capable of winning, though I suspect the true figure is closer to 0%.King Beauregardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04043228078537079759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-23756833191769676852015-08-06T15:00:43.448-05:002015-08-06T15:00:43.448-05:00That's why conservatives have had an easy time...That's why conservatives have had an easy time defining us for the last 40 years until now that we have the skinny guy with the funny name on our side he gets things done I'm glad he's our commander and chief.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626298404279432713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-1710558252543639322015-08-06T14:30:37.672-05:002015-08-06T14:30:37.672-05:00Bernie's got the first part of the equation do...Bernie's got the first part of the equation down-establish your position.
