Re: US Political Stuff (some big news) (none / 1)

I think if Obama wins, we are going to be surprised by the assertiveness of this President...

I hope and suspect you are right. The letter is a good sign. Hope he sent a copy to Pelosi and Reid. Now I am really looking forward to how he uses the 30 minutes he is buying on several networks on October 29.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

Re: US Political Stuff (some big news) (none / 1)

For me there is still the question - what will he use the assertiveness for. I am sure he can be assertive and will be.
