In this world, we all have things that are important to each of us...

More and more, it becomes apparent that only crazy people are the ones who try to make everyone believe in the exact same thing.

The one who tries to convince all us to accommodate each other and work together, despites our differences, is usually the first target of slings and arrows from the fringes.

That, quite often, makes that person the loneliest person in the room.

There will be times that people will not listen to Barack Obama when he's trying to reasonable deal with the cards he's been dealt.

Who knows, he may or may or not make honest mistakes, especially when most people think that those decisions are good ones at the time.

Can any of us say that we can do better, if we are put in his position?

From their answers, that ought to be an interesting way to find out who's crazy and who's not.

1. I believe President-Elect Obama said once

that he is not a perfect man and won't be a perfect president. I do not envy what he's walking into but I trust him and I support him. He didn't run for this office for selfish reasons and has continually made it clear that we, all of us, can make a difference. Well, that didn't end when we got him elected - as a matter of fact, looking back and ahead, that was probably the easy bit compared to the hard work that lies ahead - for all of us.

2. The man has mountains of dung left to him by Bush. I don't

expect any miracles but I believe he will do his very best to right this country.

3. we need patience

and that tends to not be a DU virtue. I voted for Obama because I honestly think he is our best hope

It will indeed be interesting to see who is crazy and who is not!
