When I wrote this I got attacked intensely for my ”we’ll see” Obama view while the rest of you were pining over the second coming of RFK.

Obama is a centrist, corporatist, opportunist and if you think that he doesn’t covet all the powers that Bushco has stolen, then you all are about to be DISAPPOINTED

The only difference is how fast it happens. A once great country with unlimited potential is clearly on the down side of the hill.</p> I have to repeat: no matter who is elected, we are going down the same road toward more and more government intrusion and control, a stronger executive, a compliant Congress, a more conservative (not in any good sense) Supreme Court, and more military action.

At this point, the only thing I actually anticipate about an Obama Administration is that it will suck less than the current alternative. If it’s going to be any better, we’re going to have to make Obama more intimidated by us than by the people who intimidate him now. That may not be easy.</p> Amen.

Like I told my young friend, be ready for lots of this kind of thing from President Obama– or President Anyone Else; just don’t be fooled… again. He really is just like all the rest.
