    Well I have done it before, identified this man as an INFP Quester, a monastic idealist. Every fiber in his body requires him to make decisions, on everything, by how you should feel in an ideal world. Don't let logic and practical reality interfere, there is only the right way to feel. Lincoln was the only other President of this type.

    The major differences people like me have with this man are not political or party related, although the parties are stratified for the most part along the feel vs logic lines. The two major group in character are separated by differences in language and data used to make decisions. We do not look to hear the same evidence or even agree on what is evidence. More often than not, no progress can be made in debate. It is not often that the difference here is this strong though.

    I was struck by his long list of things he admires and seeks, being characterized in how things should be. The most striking plea was the need to compromise and the lack of trust preventing us from working together. My goodness, I can see no way a man should compromise on what the Constitution permits or even says. But he does.

    One thing I tend to agree with Obama more than the Republicans, I do not want a major war in the middle east with American troops providing the horsepower. But then I do not agree at all with Obama that this, is not about Islam. It is, because they come from the ranks of the followers of Islam and they believe they are empowered by the Islamic concept of Jihad. Also we can not ignore the followers in this country inspired by the progress of ISIS. There will be more, probably a lot more.

    No warm feeling to be had there. Nor in the fact that Obama is only the second most successful at dividing Americans. Lincoln was far more effective.

    I see a large number of blank posts from SPD in this thread. Is it just me? Can other people hear his dog whistles?

    Same here, I thought it was performance art. I figured it was a way of showing how Obama talks and talks but doesn't have any substance behind what he says.

    I'm not sure why tweets have stopped displaying in the thread.

    Any ideas why @Denny Crane ?

    If a dog tweets in a forest and no one sees it, does it make a smell?

    It's been almost exactly one year since we switched to the new software, Denny probably forgot to pay something.

    Gregory: "Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?"
    Holmes: "To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time."
    Gregory: "The dog tweeted nothing in the night-time."
    Holmes: "That was the curious incident."

    I had to unfollow Mags. His Twitter page is embarrassing.

    I don't mind some pro Trump tweets, but he does hundreds per day. I'm still following him but it gets a bit much.
