Obama understands that the devisive zero-sum game played by both the right wing ayatollahs and the left wing loons these past couple of decades stalls progress and keeps the United States in the muddy trenches of quagmire.
What is needed is intelligent dialogue and conversation. Neither side will budge the other with yelling, screaming and acrimony as the main ground rules for engagement. Obama seems to represent a member of the left willing to talk to the right. Warren seems to represent a member of the right willing to talk to the left.
This controversy was accelerated by a bored media desperately in search of a firestorm in the Obama transition. A supposed Obama connection to Gov. Blago didn't pan out. This story will also fizzle out very soon.
