Obama's principle is to become the change you want to see in the world, in this case, the world of politics. It's easy to mend fences with green republicans who opposed the war.
If we can work with Lieberman, the man who repeated nearly every slur against Obama promulgated during the sleazy McCain campaign, we can work with nearly anyone?
I think this is the idea, it's a matter of discipline to principle. Only a coalition can cure what ails us.
It's Bill Clinton's political philosophy with discipline. We volunteers noticed this in the Obama campaign, no counterattacks on a personal level were tolerated. From the bottom to the top.
If the americans that won WW 2 could forget political bickering and quickly solve every problem and surmount every difficulty, many losing their lives in the process, can't we at least show this much lower level of dedication now? It's crisis time, no extra drama ought to be expended on revenge.
Cancel the bickering until the economy is fixed, oil wars are obsolete, and GHG is under control. It's all about oil...again. About replacing it as an energy source over the next 10 to 20 years.
