Public disgust over Carter resulted in the Reagan revolution. Clinton paved the way for Bush.
In four years, after Obama has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he really IS a lightweight with a flaky agenda the usual Nazi suspects will all be back.
I got you, babe.

If young white voters are “less racist” does that mean Obama was elected because he is less black? Why is half black/half white considered the “first black president”? I am half Swedish if elected would I be the “first Swedish president”?
—————-
Ok, with that nonsense out of the way, let’s look at real life. Real world results and consequences are not graded on the curve.
This is what I see as grading on the curve:
Obama the orator : Following the guy who still says,” ‘merica” and “nuke-yu-ler” and whose principle segue is “aaaa”?
Is it a mandate when following one of the least popular administrations ever?
Is it a mandate winning a campaign against a competitor who looked like his concentration was elsewhere?
Is it a mandate when so many first time voters have been promised cash payments?
Obama ran a “good” campaign

Obama is a great speaker. But has anybody at ITT actually looked as his positoins on the issues? Obama doesn’t deviate from standard Democratic Party positions.
David Moberg mentioned the appointment of Rahm Emmanuel as the ultimate political insider. That’s true as far as it goes. Rahm Emmanuel is also a big hawk, and fought antiwar Democrats. And he’s very close to the Israel Lobby. Quite likely Obama will appoint more former Clinton people. And nobody seriously called Bill Clinton a “visionary”.
Neither Moberg nor any of the other ITT editors mentioned that Obama was able to raise a ton of money from Big Business, far more than McCain. That helped Obama run a campaign in normally Republican states. The vast sums of money flowing to Obama really ought to give pause to ITT writers and readers who assume that Obama is a wonderful progressive champion.
By the way, I never said that there was “no difference” between Obama. I’m just saying that politicians protect the interests of their campaign contributors. So don’t expect Obama to be a leftist.

I hope Obama will work for the common people & understand them to the fullest. May be he will prove to be the President we wanted for so long. All the best to him & for his bright future.
