    Another is general racial harmonization. I at least expected that he wouldn't aggravate situations.

    Additionally - faith in the administration to resolve problems effectively. The polls show that his number one asset; his personality - is not playing well. He is not communicating a coherent or staid vision that will likely be implemented. Weak moral and political rationalization seems to characterize his administration, but it seems to be infuriating the center, which is unexpected. His words seem hollow and without weight. Do you disagree?

    I agree with his position on Israel - I havn't agreed with a U.S. President on that in a while and his moderate position on S America is nice as well; It clips the wings of Chavez to an extent, making him look even more absurd.

    There are policies that I agree with him on, but unity within the nation is a serious failing - without even a semblance of unifying the center to the various special interests that you represent.

    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
