So, we are all hopeful that he will be able to surround himself with a competent administration that will be willing to reach across the table and pragmatically move the ball forward on the most pressing issues facing America and the Globe one day at a time.
"Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl."
I think it is possible you misinterpreted my usage of the word. Especially given that "pragmatically" is used in the definition of the word "principled" here:
based on or manifesting objectively defined standards of rightness or morality; "principled pragmatism and unprincipled expediency"; "a principled person."

Now is not the time to argue for the sake of arguing imo.
all i'm saying is that there are flaws in acting pragmatically. It's not the first time i've heard someone say that we need to be more pragmatic about solving our problems.
My hope is that they are both principled and pragmatic in their approach as a unified administration and that they are able to prioritize the issues, which are all connected to each other. And I believe Obama has what it takes.
Pragmatic is term some of us need to look up in the dictionary...as Bob Marley says its all gonna be alright or if its not we can all move abroad, to india or thailand and grow plants and live happy lives

and he's already made impact on what bush has done.
he's working for people like me and i like that. there are great politicians in office in a lot of places. i've become very close to someone i deem truly inspirational who works in seattle poltics. thats small pie compared to the president, but i see him motivating and enriching and helping people everyday.
Ya the markets sure have reacted to Obama. I believe the word is "tanking." I am not going to say anything bad about Obama but everyone needs to realize that free market capitalism is dead and socialism is Obama's agenda. I am not debating this either it is a fact when you see volunteer posters. Volunteering is not the American way.
