Great clip from the Frontline episode "The Choice" that describes how Barack appealed to and worked with those both on the right and on the left as president of the Harvard Law Review.

I am glad he keeps his promises. Reaching across the row, like sending Pelosi to Haiti with 11 Democrats and 1 republican---lets see thats one for you, three for me.........and making Health care debate public on C-span "so the public will know whats going on .." - Not, and "reducing health care cost" ..or give them a blank check so prices are soaring even more all of a sudden ! or let the lobbyist buy him to write the stimulus bill and the health care bill, I though that was Congress job......

I agree with you. I'm no liberal democrat. I posted this video thinking (hoping) it indicated moderate tendencies in President Obama. He has, unfortunately, proven me wrong.

Both parties need to understand that we (moderates) are going to continue to throw them out of office when they refuse to treat people with civility and spend our money like water from a fire hose.

There is a better version of this on the PBS website. And it actually has the entire video, which is 10 parts. Very informative.

Somehow the aspect ratio got screwed up and I'm just to lazy to re-upload it, sorry. I would encourage people to view the whole thing too. I wanted to highlight this particular portion however because I think it addresses some of the issues other people like me might have about voting for Barack Obama.

@astronautagogo correction: *if anything

Obama is a moderate & a centrist. In fact, in any other industrialized nation in the world, his policies & governance would be considered center right of anything.

@shanniajoan Why? Because he's a deadbeat liar? He said he'd bring troops home. If that's true then why'd he send 30000 more out a few months ago? If that's true. Then why am I being shipped out to afghanistan?

Juss be happy Barack Oboma is elected!!! I am!!!!!!
