But even in Baltimore he was still adamant that his way was the only way to go. Means that he still believes in the Democrat ideal of compromise. Democrats hold the line and the Republicans compromise!

Personally he put some hope back into me about him with the gesture. Even if I am still reluctant to trust him, once bitten twice shy they say.

Is it possible that he really has gotten the message, is he really willing to work together with his opponents and find common ground. I shall not hold my breath but I so want to hope that both parties can put their differences aside and stop making apeals to their respective bases out of fear over re-election.

In any event I give him kudos for it and I thought he did way better imho at Baltimore than he did with his address.

Time will tell ultimately.
