I'm in the mood for Tropical Punch today, how about the rest of you?
Wouldn't that be wonderful? When has this ever been the case? PB's point was perfectly clear to me. Bush' reign has been characterized by a siege mentality - insulating himself with people who agree with him and exiling those that dare to present an opposing viewpoint. Obama is far less likely to govern like that, and that is the point. You've taken "the people around him" part completely out of context. Your rhetoric is usually better than that.
