When I was a kid, we used to gather around the radio to listen to the Fireside Chats.

You have to remember or know if you are not a geezer, that Roosevelt was hated by a significant number of people.

He had the War to unite the people but it was with his personality and spirit that he got people together.

Now I am not comparing FDR with our President elect but I am saying that Trump's direct communication with the people, all the people, is a good start toward healing.

He is using the media creatively and in doing so is going over the heads of the usual prognosticators and interpreters. With Trump, what you see, you get. I do believe that.

I may not agree or even like what I see sometimes but I do admire his ability to cut to the chase.

Of course, soon, he will run into the slow motion of actual governance but I do like his optimism. And some of the problems he is stating I agree with. It is the solutions that I worry about.
