Once Again Obama proves he is a man ahead of his time

After reading a news article today on CNN describing the threats against US politicians who voted for the universal health care bill, I was struck by how far some people have come and how far behind others are. While the Americans hold personal freedoms and democracy dear, they are quickly willing to raise arms if thier personla needs are not met in the democratic process. It made me wonder whether any violent conflict is justifiable or simplied justified depending upon how it is sold to us. I realise now that anything can be justified, even violence against those who have tried to make an historical and landmark change, if it affects even a few negatively. President Obama proves his courage every day and I dearly hope he never has to pay the ultimate price for his courage as other great leaders like JFK and Martin Luther King Jr. have.
