<<<They are clearly part of the problem yet if we don't pick one of them we are making a terrible mistake and running an awful risk and believing in dreams and fairy tales and all the rest.>>>

I don't think Obama gets it. There is division in our country over the vision for the future of our country.

There is the future that is defined by James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and FDR. Al Gore, John Edwards, Bill Clinton and the democratic party adhere to those principles as they have been laid out.

Ronald Reagan, William F Buckley, Newt Gingrich, and the right wing of the republican party wants us to go into a different direction. George W. Bush and John McClain are their foot soldiers.

These two visions are clear. People have to choose.

Ronald Reagan was indeed the master communicator. He was able to communicate to his followers, without using the exact words, but he offered the alluson they want to throw the "welfare queen" under the bus.

Admittedly, the "welfare queen" is not a sympathetic character, but we can not allow her to be thrown under the bus. We can not tolerate that.

What Obama does not understand is that we do not need a new vision. We have a vision. We have to understand that vision and to make that happen. We can not make that happen by embracing the extreme elements trying to "throw all of us under that bus".
