A View from Behind the Curtain: Pro and Con

Pro and Con

Two views:

I know I will be accused here of presenting a bias and jaded view of the political debate, I can honestly say I didn't set out to do that. I searched for "views that support Obama" and "views that oppose Obama" The second video is one of a very few civil ones I found and is the most articulate. I am sure there may be others but I didn't find them. The third video is pretty typical of what I found in the Pro Obama video category.

The Man in the Arena

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt, "Citizenship in a Republic,"  Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910
