37. Do you not find it ironic that President Obama's speech included a self critical
point of view raising the point that all (including and particularly himself) need to dedicate themselves to do more for their community while you sit on the sidelines comdemning for not doing enough in the 4 months that he has been President.


My comments are not condescending in the least because, unlike you, I am not making condescending and self indulgent comments about the President but simply stating an obvious fact, simply because somebody doesn't understand another person's strategy is not an indication that person's strategy does not exist.

That is not condescension but simply an objectively true statement.

The fact that you have missed the main point of the OP, which is not policy oriented at all but reflects on the substantive change in leadership style from the haughty arrogance of Bush/Cheney to the intellegent humility of Obama/Biden, is rather revealing. You maybe somewhat 'humility challenged'.

Given the fact that you seem oblivious to the point of the OP let me spell it out in some detail so that you can familiarize yourself with the basic thrust of what the rest of us are talking about:



Beyond the policy changes, which you have graciously given the President some additional months to address, it should be noted that simply the change in tone and style is in itself a rather remarkable change over the last 8 years. We are remarkably fortunate that our current President has so skillfully turned from the very unpleasant belligerent style of his predecessor and brought forth a style of leadership that is humble in tone, engaging in spirit, and challenges us to think.




Clear enough or do you still intend to hijack the thread with your own particular policy interests, which of course you are free to do in your own thread?
