Did compromise play a role in the founding of our nation? Most likely. To say that our country was founded on compromise is a statement heretofore not heard heard by me in all my years. That alone is not the qualifier. The founding of our nation was not relegated to a single event as you portray the slavery issue.

I venture to say you could ask 100 people what they think this country was founded on and I would bet not one would say "compromise".

My commentary was focused on Obama's flip use of terms to accentuate his issue....which he does quite regularly. And it seems when some of us choose to criticize or not side with what Obama says we always are treated to a dialogue defending what he said or did.

As one poster asked previously....is there no wrong Obama can do? (rhetorical reference not requiring an answer).
