I just finished talking to a friend and co-worker. We have worked together for a number of years. She and her husband are from India, and have lived in the United States for over 20 years. During that time, they have come to love this country, identifying and drawing contrasts to their native land. They had however over the last 8 years, grown disenchanted with the U.S. its leadership and its actions on the world stage. As a result, she and her husband had made a decision within the last year or two to remain Indian citizens. That changed last night.

I'm simply concerned that in Obama's efforts to skew the ticket to garner the middle, he is ultimately abandoning the base that has carried him to this point.

Update: Changed Title to reflect my sentiment.

Update: This is my first diary on DKos. Thanks for all of the comments and suggestions!

My father, a staunch Dem, received an email below from a Republican relative the other day. He shared it with me and I have quoted it below.

No. Ignore it. It'll just drive his blood pressure up and it's not good for intra-family relations
