Barack Obama has decided to boycott a debate debate hosted by Fox News Channel.  He is the second Democratic candidate to make the move; John Edwards' campaign recently announced similar intentions saying, "There's just no reason for Democrats to give Fox a platform to advance the right-wing agenda while they're pretending to be objective."

 Roger Ailes, Chairman and CEO of Fox News, responded, "Any candidate for high office from either party who believes he can blacklist any news organization is making a terrible mistake about journalists."

It seems the Democrats and Republicans are continuing to intentionally increase the gap between them.  Perhaps the answer is for the parties to come together, discuss, and compromise rather than insult or ignore each other.  The country isn't called the "Divided" States of America.  We need to unite as Americans regardless of whether we're black, white, short, tall, Republican, Democrat, etc.

Leave a comment and let me know what you think.  Is this decision good, bad, or in between?
