    I have voted for him in the primaries. I will again in the general.

    But I am less optimistic than you. I have lost all hope for any President to turn this mess around, except for Barack, and my hopes for him aren't all that high.

      Anyone who really thinks Obama is going to be this transcendent figure who will change everything are smoking crack. You may like him more than McCain, but don't expect any miracles... his change in policies means he'll probably govern more like Clinton (a bit of triangulation) than FDR... which isn't exactly a bad thing, mind.

          No. That's a huge exaggeration. I imagine that it would affect their calculations, but I can't imagine it affecting their decisions to any significant degree. It might be different if a populist or socialist regime took power.

            I did not and will not vote for him. He doesn't represent me and he won't do anything different.

                I'd like to be watching his eye reaction if he ever reads the things presidents read.

                  You don't realize how much money pours into the US just because the US is supposedly stable and safe. If the government nationalized one industry, who's to say they wouldn't do another next?

                    Kid is a socialist. Unless Obama has decided he's a socialist too, he won't represent Kid.
