Even Pat Buchanan and several other conservatives gave Obama high marks for his first press conference. And while he made the comment about Nancy Reagan he clearly meant no harm and had the class and self-awareness to quickly recognize the mistake and proactively call her personally to apologize.
I've intetionally stayed away from commenting on this stuff as it's so unrelated to why I come to this board. But I do want to make one comment. Tom, you are extremely bright and very well informed. I would really love to some day have a discussion with you without any of the spin and position selling that you are so well known for, but question whether you actually have the ability to dial it back. Think of it this way - it's the difference between listening to a true conservative with core beliefs who applies common sense to their comments and evaluations vs. listening to Sean Hannity drone on with talking points that even he can't even believe. I'm sure Hannity also has the ability to contribute his point of view to a constructive discussion but has become so predictable and such a charachature that few actually take him seriously. I'd love to take you seriously. I wish I could. I am someone who really believes there are two sides to every argument and the right answer is rarely on the fringes. But I can never cut through your talking points and argumentative nature. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "justifiedright" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Factual inaccuracy and a swipe at Nancy Reagan, who is recovering from > the same calamity as his recently deceased grandmother. > > Oh let the uniting and healing begin! > > Good grief. > ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
