us vs. them
Words from an Internet stranger that resonated with me this morning:
i admit, up front, that obama doesn't always do what i think is right and that he's done a number of things which have disappointed me to a greater or lesser extent. but when he says "we," i feel like that includes me and those i care about. but when mitt romney says "we," he's not talking about me and my loved ones. as far is mitt is concerned, me and my loved ones aren't part of the "us," we're part of "them." and that's why obama continues to have my support.
Amen.
