Listen to O'Bama on how to be a typical Democrat

I just read this article this morning in the San Francisco Chronicle.  It really made me think about how the majority of Democrats and Republic differ on how we approach discussing our conservative and liberal views.  O'Bama was quoted as saying..

"I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face,"

Really?  Is this the best advice? Get in people's faces and argue with them?  I prefer discussions and respectful disagreements.

I would agree that sometimes discussions turn into polite arguments but when you get in someone's face you are taking it one step closer to a physical confrontation.

Perhaps O'Bama and the democrats should review "How to Win Friends and Influence People"
