not diving to the rancid level of all the haters, left and right.

Winning is the rope-a-dope absorbing punches and deflecting it

To dive to their level and btw, the extremists are on the right and on the left.

Sanity is why 80-20 is better than 50-50 and will come to pass, once the extremists
are rendered politically OBSOLETE at the voting booth.
In obsoleteness, no one can here them whine.

Working for President Obama's agenda forever.
Because President Obama sees things not in 2 terms, but forever 125 steps ahead

and battles can be lost to win the longterm war.

Dr. King kept on despite hatred, despite hits, despite EVERYTHING and President Obama is President because of that.

Remember, it took LBJ to get votes from the OTHER party due to the George Wallace John Birch Society racists(now they are run by Ron/Rand/David Duke) who refused to allow equality to happen. They too were extremists and democratic party in name. They became
100% OBSOLETE. Why should anyone appease the extremists, who actually do NOT want President Obama to succeed at anything and never did?

As they said in the 1970s, (and Eddie Kendricks sang)
Barack Obama should keep on keepin' on.
