I would give him more time than that before dismissing him as nothing but a speechmaker. The reason I put up this speech is because I appreciate the approach he takes to issues - one that says, yes we are different, but we need to work together to find common ground. The same with the abortion issue.

In regard to my post, I don't know what makes people stay in the same place/profession generation after generation. Perhaps "tradition" or complacency, or the parochial nature of knowing nothing else.
