Actually, you have several choices. You can choose to:
1. ignore this week's message from President Obama and opt for a continuation of the status quo.
2. watch the message and reject it solely because you've been told not to trust the President by folks who stand to gain personally and politically by undermining his efforts to address the problems facing America.
3. watch the message and accept it solely because the President makes you feel good when he speaks.
4. watch the message and either accept or reject it based on a clear understanding of the differences between liberal and conservative political ideologies and the pros and cons inherent in solutions to problems offered by each camp.
5. watch the message and envision the larger picture the President is painting. It's a picture which challenges the listener to recognize and accept as fact
- that in America no single person shapes policy,
- that the American legislative process is messy by design but predicated and dependent on honest deliberation and debate,
- that divisiveness rooted in ideology and greed poses as great a danger for America as do the threats from external enemies,
- and that uniting in a common purpose has always been the American way.
