WOW. Jeanine - you really have gotten very sensitive.

I listed the people that I did as a result of the allusion that all these Dems are tax-evading criminals. I'm certainly not saying that ONLY those folks or ONLY republicans are. Just the opposite. I am sick of people pointing fingers and naming parties.

In the 20th century, our country got along with itself for the most part. Political discussions in social situations were not taboo, and they were not accusatory. Now I fear bringing up politics with anyone that I don't know well for fear of offending them, and I bite my tongue if they're brought up to me.

I don't expect fences to be mended just by way of everyone converting to my beliefs. Nor Obama's. However, at least he's trying!! He's willing to compromise. He's already admitted to the fact that things are going to get worse before they get better rather than saying everything's hunky-dory as your Bush (ps, not Jr as in the same name, Jr as in his father's SON, sorry I was too abstract for you) did, and he's looking for a real, long-term solution. He wants to TALK to Iran rather than a knee-jerk declaration of war or sanctions such as we saw in Iraq.

I am not telling you HOW TO FEEL. Except not to take what I said so personally, it was not an attack, and certainly not an attack on you. Otherwise you can feel as you like. And of course you can disagree with him.

But to blame Obama for his initial appointees' lack of IRS responsibility is just silly. I'm just waiting for Cheney's trials for Halliburton/KBR corruption and abuse of power charges. And that's Cheney's own fault, not Bush's.
