President Barack Obama

I have so much respect for President Obama. He is intelligent and compassionate. He uses emotional intelligence.

This morning he was at a Republican Retreat. He speaks of a deficit of trust and asks for a "tone of civility". He is more than a politician...he is a humanitarian.

There is hope with this quality of leadership. I do hope the Independent Party can rise to the surface representing balance and working relationships in our political system.

New systems rise because new lines of force are settling into place.
