&lt;P&gt;The questions I had about Obama's background in Chicago have not been answered yet,but as we all say,Politics is a rough sport.Obama seems to be on the right track,trying to work with Republicans,as well as pulling in the hard nosed far left Dems.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I am a middle of the road person and Obama is doing his best to pull the Country together.I would be a fool if I did not recognize that.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Everyone seems to think I was gungho for Hillary  all the way.  I was against was her treatment by the Press,especially MSNBC pundits. Also the DNC. I have not changed my mind on that,not for one minute.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Obama being smart enough to choose her for SOS made me see he was smarter than all the MSM and a lot of his followers,who did the same thing to her.&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>Who made this post?</title><link>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/2392070.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 02 Feb 2009 17:45:18 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8e55aff1-63ee-4857-a1e9-69fccb83d317:2392070</guid><dc:creator>SmartAss</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/2392070.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=36702&amp;PostID=2392070</wfw:commentRss><description>Was it the Jews?

The SoS's main job is to carry the President's message around the world, and Hillary Clinton has done that in an unofficial capacity, in the past (as First Lady), and has pretty good self-discipline for staying on message (and has shown a great capacity for personal loyalty, in the past).  Biden's got his strong points, but message discipline is certainly not one of them.  So, with the touchiness of the Middle East issues ahead, maybe Obama figured Clinton would be a better choice to deliver his messages on a day to day basis, whereas Biden could be used in situations where discipline wasn't as big a priority as imagination and personal connections.</description></item><item><title>Re: Can A Few Bad Apples Ruin The Whol Barrel?</title><link>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/2392008.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 02 Feb 2009 17:32:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8e55aff1-63ee-4857-a1e9-69fccb83d317:2392008</guid><dc:creator>Loree</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/2392008.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=36702&amp;PostID=2392008</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;I agree....and that phrase 'for the most part' says it all:-)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For there is very little in the world, in our country, and on this board as well, that is '100 percent':-)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;But the truth is, that we learn to live with all of it, and let our own minds and hearts, be the rudder by which we steer our way through life.

I went through so many changes this year over this election, but eventually I too see that those who were for Obama made the right decsion for the times.And I also feel like MaryAnne and I began to soften on him when he made the mature choice and selected HRC for SOS.And Biden for VP too. After all Biden was my first choice for President way back when this election started.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;So, I am very happy now about it.I can now see how Obama as an inspiring figure is very wise as well for the country. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;KSF Fray has a very nice unique style about it. I like the way most of all the posters handle things in a very community based mature manner for the most part.It's really very nice.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
