Obama is awesome !!!

The quality that I most like in President Obama is that I see him as a "process" person. Someone who cares as much about the process of making decisions as the decisions themselves. A lot of hurt can be accomplished by a "decider" stance. How many of us in our family lives rely solely on the "decider" model to make decisions? Don't we listen to what our family members have to say? It should be the same way with our President. Listening to others is never a sign of weakness; only strengthThe failure of human groups to make rational decisions is usually a failure of process. This is something we have to rationally evolve. Obama is a student of group process, and he is showing a masterful touch for trying to improve decision making by getting not only the smartest and wisest people around him, but a process that works better than what was used by Bush et al. I am increasingly impressed with Obama and pleasantly surprised that he is actually doing what he said he would do, but accomplishing it though group and interactive process. Great to see.The MSM is going nuts over the what they claim as Obama's contradictions in torture policy. Fox News has made a lot of hay from this subject, because it feeds into their mythology of wishy-washy Democrats. Sure we all want justice for the crimes of the Bush administration, but it isn't that easy when there is a 25% base that will always support Bush, and another 20% that are either scared, misinformed or both. Obama may have won the popular election, but he is far from eliminating the influence of the Republican Party, and that explains why he is reluctant to create commissions, distractions and politics until the timing is right.I agree with Obama, that torture commissions and war trials will be an enormous distraction, and will cause psychic damage to the public, even though the crimes were heinous. The demons are now out, and the battle begins. The public loves simple subjects like wars, celebrity names, scandal and a good OJ trial, which is the red meat of the MSM."The President is a "Centrist". He does (@ will always) govern from there. He is not a Conservative, or a Liberal. There are some things he will be liberal about, as there will be things that he will be conservative about. His ideology is pragmatism. What is the best that we can do now given the present circumstances to ensure sucess moving foreward is how he operates. Get used to it. We elected a "smart guy". He will analyze every problem from every angle before moving. We're so used to Dubya's "gut" that we forgot what an intelligent president is! Go Obama!"
