what's depressing is the reaction of the right. mitt romney called the president's effort an apology trip which is then vomited all over the internet, including here. rush says he sided with al-qaida. and the dumbest guy in the senate, jim inhofe calls the president un-american.

republicans want to pretend they're tough. but what really comes through is fear. they're scared of dialogue and scared of empathy. they're scared of complexity and ambiguity.

and they're particularly scared of an america that elected a black guy and isn't as easily rattled as they are.

Only thing Im scared of is my mom.

Sounds to me like ALOT of people have hard feelings because the guy isnt part of the party they voted for or even more shameful possibly because he is not from their ethical or racial background!!! That is the sad and ignorant part of this country. We as a country are just a little more subtle about it.

And what is wrong with acknowledging the mistakes this country has made.....we are by no means perfect contrary to what prior administrations the past 8 years have tried to convey to the world!!!!!
