Look! On the horizon! Is that a ship?

NPR blogger Robert Smith reports that a civil conversation took place today between an apparent liberal and a conservative who happens to be president of the United States. It was articulate, it was civil, and it gives us hope for a new approach in political discussions. "Bravo" to both of them.

The next step will be when this isn't news.
