gotta give the guy credit for being good at what he does; selling truckloads of crap for a premium (several trillion dollars, to be precise).
he is very articulate, and its hard to dislike him on a personal level. i think he is using the economic situation to permanently further establish socialist institutions, but i just can't get a read on the guy for some reason. he speaks a lot without really saying much in terms of direction...he's very, very non-committal across a range of issues - almost all.
its strange that so many liberals support him, when he's going to continue the wiretapping, continue the extraordinary renditions, increase and extend troop presence in afghanistan, continue with the bush economic policies, etc...
although i discount words and put a premium on actions, i do recognize the power and sway of words (particularly over those who fall for the cult of personality), and obama has the power in spades (er, half-spades...er, ummm...disregard).
btw, the lost decade in japan which obama said he was trying to avoid was caused by EXACTLY the same policies he's implementing in this bill!
