In 2007 Presidential candidate Barack Obama had a very clear position on his support for Unions and collective bargaining. A lot of people I personally encountered on the campaign trail said he was "only words". I, of course, defended him and said he was different. After all "Change" was a big part of his campaign. With this in mind, I guess all of us who worked for him and helped turn out a record number of voters shouldn't be surprised that "change" of mind is something that has defined many of his positions as President. Where is the President's support for worker's rights??? Where are your comfortable shoes, Mr. President??? We need you!!!
Hannah Arendt wrote that "To be political, to live in a polis, meant that everything was decided through words and persuasion and not through force and violence." This site serves as a new type of polis where discourse and dialogue may be celebrated as humanities highest achievement. Exegesis Saves.
