Eliminate the Conservative/Liberal labels.

Clearly one thing Obama's election has proven is the "best" Executive-In-Chief at this moment in time, will be the one who is most willing to be inclusive, collaborative, and engage every viewpoint--then embarking on a course, while at the same time, providing clear and rational explanations on the decisions to the American people. 
 
If he can pull this off (and a majority of the electorate has determined he can) wouldn't we all be better represented by our government? 
 
I'm so tired of the Liberal and Conservative label!!!  I'm so tired of the naysayers (who earn their bucks on dissention with whoever is in office) disputing every positive step forward--as a sign of impending doom for America. 
 
No third party had the power to achieve the Presidency--but we have a President--who decries the crappola surrounding both parties--and desires to remain focused on what is "best" for the majority of Americans--even if he has to combat the leadership in the liberal and conservative movements--and his weapon is "logic". 
 
What a breath of fresh air for this voter of 35 years--who was beginning to lose "hope" we could ever have a President who would really listen to "me".

Leadership..is Job #1

During the course of a 24 Air Force career--and a decade out of uniform I've developed a pretty good understanding of the characteristic of successful leaders.  Serving under every President from Carter to Clinton--I've also had a little insight into the Commander-In-Chief role.
John has continued to serve our nation--even though he could have retired to his beautiful Arizona home decades ago.  Why? 
Why continue to place yourself in harms way.
Why continue to place yourself in the field of fire for the pundits and papparazzi.
Why--because John has always believed in something larger than himself--the United States of America.   Freedom, liberty, justice for all--aren't cliches for John, he's made it his life's work to defend those precepts--and devoted everything to the cause. He continues to fight for those precpts.  The principle of free enterprise (also extending to government taxation and regulation); the principle of liberty and the pursuit of happiness(including the wealth derived from your hard work); the desire for equity and justice for all (in the laws of the land and liberties allowed in the constitution).
