First of all, OF COURSE what I say is my opinion SAME AS WHAT YOU SAY is yours. Is that not what this board is about ?

I shared NO perception of your research and in fact didnt even think about YOU when I was typing. In rereading perhaps I offended you with my misuse of the caps and you took that personally.

I surely will "leave you out of it" as you say....didnt think I "brought you into it"......you said in your post "based on personality" and that small part of your post is what I addressed although at no time did I mention you or your post excecpt when I said your points were well taken.

You said "It's kind of interesting, yet also quite predictable that many are pronouncing every problem every day as "Obama's" and occuring since November". I ignored that since I have not seen that happen at all anywhere.....most of the discussion Ihave seen have been about his solutions.

To your comments....."You are not acurate in your prononucements no do I care to be caught up in petty personality issues. "......I never professed to being toally accurate in what you call my "pronouncements" BUT I did think this was a place to share opinions....and have no idea whatsoever what you mean by "petty personality issues" as again, my post began with "Your points are well taken and I understand your feeling...".......what did you want me to do if I disagree?

I DONT believe myself to be close minded as you suggest...perhaps those who say that are just a bit, dont you think ? I said and said it over and over again how I feel and that I will be the first in line to say I was wrong (done it many times)...perhaps you should open your mind a bit to other thoughts instead of condemning those who feel strongly the other way.

Your comment about "Tired old partisan blame tactics and ideology will not fit or work in today's situation" is confusing as I blamed NOBODY for anything...but your comment does sound like a sound bite from the campaign. If you disagree you are not open !!! Glad you are moving beyond those tired old partisan tactics as you say, but you obviously dont feel voting on a bill without reading it BECAUSE of party is a bad thing but I do, and feel just as strongly about those who voted against the bill because of party pollitics.

It is a two way street and to be so smitten with a policy because someone who is able to say things in such convincing manner tells you that this is bi partisan does not make it so. IF criticizing the current administration and congress is preceived to be "tired old partisan politics" even if the criticism is necessary or valid, then they have accomplished what they want !!!
