Forgive me for saying so, but you seem a bit angry Shirley. I said nothing about "grandstanding" nor was I making any implications. I simply am trying to understand your people's outlook.

It would seem that while the occupant of the office has changed, the same challenges remain. That would be another way of putting things. From watching your election coverage one was led to believe that all things problematic were to vanish overnight. I mean no disrespect. I am searching for a better grasp of your people's outlook on the landscape.

Perhaps this is the wrong venue to make such inquiries. I seem to be unwelcome here. My apologies.

Thank you for your reply.
