Rig couldn't stand Obama, no doubt about that, Ron. It was a personal thing. He simply didn't trust Obama at all...and he thought Obama couldn't win, if I recall correctly (presumably because too many White Americans wouldn't vote for a "Black" president?) He much preferred Hillary Clinton to Obama, and it was Clinton he wanted to see win the election. A lot of Democrats and independents felt that way...but not quite enough of them to give Hillary the victory over Obama in the end. You'll recall it was pretty close. In my case, I liked Kucinich the best by far...but he never had a chance. I liked Obama way better than Clinton.

I notice that Rig has considerably modified his stance on Obama in the last few months and he's said some positive stuff about Obama lately...so evidently he's changed his mind some. That's good. It shows he's flexible and willing to change an old opinion when confronted with changing events.

Although all our past posts are recorded here...yes...that doesn't mean that our ideas can't change.

I don't know if the immigration issue is so important to Rig that he would side with a candidate simply on the basis of that issue alone. It seems unlikely to me, but I guess we'll have to ask him.

What say, Rig? Would you do that? Is immigration THE make or break issue for you?
