Do you see ANY indication of that happening?

Some. His economic team is much more centrist that it could have been. And to point out one more thing - the campaign is over and he won. It's okay to say nice things about him and to support him when he does the right thing now. I just hope it's more frequently than I think it'll be.

“okay to say nice things about him and to support him when he does the right thing now. “

Do you think we should support him when he is dismantling our ability to prevent terrorist attacks on the US?

Do you think we should support him, when he is trying to turn the US into an even bigger welfare state?

Do you think we should support him when he wants to implement socialized medicine, which will result in the unnecessary deaths of many as a result of rationing of health care?

Do you think we should support him in increasing the government’s role in all aspect’s of our lives?

Obama’s Vision: Only Government Can End Economic Woes

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2162368/posts

“Republican Ronald Reagan once quipped that the most “terrifying words” in the English language were: “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.” Democrat Bill Clinton proclaimed in a State of the Union speech 13 years ago that “the era of big government is over.”

But in an address Thursday, President-elect Barack Obama said that government is the solution.

Reagan famously said government is not the solution, it’s the problem,” Lichtman said. “Obama is saying government is the solution and, in fact, the only real solution to the crisis we’re experiencing today. It’s not just a matter of fixing the economy. It’s a matter of fundamentally moving the economy in a new direction. And government, not private enterprise, has to take the lead.”


Are you still optimistic about the Obama presidency? It seems your vision as described in your sig line and Obama’s vision are in direct conflict.
