THIS IS WHAT SEPARATES US FROM THE REPUBLICANS

Best thing I've heard this year:

"Borrowing the words from John Winthrop who in 1630 preached a sermon, President Reagan like to describe America like a city shining brightly on a hill. But he (Winthrop) did not say that this country shines brightly because it has more wealth than anyone else, or more power then anyone else. We mourn together, we suffer together, we rejoice together. That is, when we consider the need of others, that's when this country shines like a city on the hill." Martin Bashir

I believe points out the same thing in an M$NBC promo that I think was filmed at Coney Island.

the reaction to our "team" after debates. After the first debate, nobody was harder on the President than the left - including Maddow, Schultz and Matthews. Pres Obama wiped the floor with mitt last night and his side still did the spinning like crazy that he won. They never throw their guy/gal under the bus the way our side does.
