'CIVILITY REQUIRES RELEARNING HOW TO DISAGREE WITHOUT BEING DISAGREEABLE." President Obama, Feb 4, 2010
But at the same time, he made it clear that there are some positions that lie outside that realm of civil discourse, such as birther conspiracies and the targeting of gays and lesbians.
"Civility also requires relearning how to disagree without being disagreeable," Obama declared before a standing-room-only crowd. "[C]ivility is not a sign of weakness. Now I am the first to confess I am not always right. Michelle will testify to that. But surely, you can question my policies without questioning my faith. Or for that matter, my citizenship."
I just Love President Obama--- HE HAS THE BEST SENSE OF HUMOR ---- That's what I loved about the late President Reagan and President Bush. They knew how to get a laugh out of you.
The civility stump he gave to the group sounds like a blog I did back in 2008 when things were just getting out of hand with the campaigns. He's just one likeable guy all the way round. God bless him and keep him safe in the days ahead!
