Take Your Pick: Leader of the Country or Leader of Democratic Party

"Posted by Undercover Corporate Titan" I have pretty much had it with the MSM labeling negative reactions to Barack as unpatriotic.  A person is entitled to great deference from me if he is elected President of the United States.  If that person approaches the challenges of the job with prospective that his/her job is to promote the well-being of the country and its inhabitants, well then, he/she will get nothing but respect from me. If the elected leader chooses to prefer the role of Leader of the Democratic Party, well, you know what most people think of party hacks.  Personal attacks, straw-man arguments and thinly-veiled "the-end-justifies-the-means" vascillations are not calculated to engender respect; just victory at any cost. The real costs are just around the corner, methinks.
