Chasby sends me twenty questions for Obama. Thw questions were posed by John Hawkins. I can't speak for Obama, but I can give my own thoughts on the matter
1) You've made unifying the American public and putting our political divisions behind us one of the central themes of your campaign. Yet, National Journal ranked you as the single most liberal senator in 2007. So, which liberal beliefs of yours are you willing to give up for unity's sake? None, Unity does not mean every person thinks in exactly the same way. I will unify the country behind important goals: Economic recovery, health care, restoring Americas moral position in the world…. The point is that each person will bring what they have to the effort rather than simply tearing each other apart.----- Let's think about guns. People who favor gun ownership realize that when guns are used in violent crimes it hurts their interests. Guns don't kill, people do. SO everybody has a vested interest in keeping guns out of the hands of people who would do harm. With a common interest we can work together.
