"I don't see a man seeking to destroy". 90% of the apparatus of the federal government is unseen, regardless of who occupies the Oval Office. When a spotlight is shown on to something, it tends to distort the landscape because most people don't have the frame of reference to evaluate it and I put myself in that category, too.<br /> I'm going to go at this from a different direction, and that is from the viewpoint of the people you are saying Obama is also a part of. I listen and read lots of differing viewpoints, and Jesse Jackson and those who think like him are NOT happy with his actions so far. Anti-war activists are shocked that more people have been killed by unmanned drones in Afghanistan than under Bush. Paul Krugman is in the corner sucking his thumb because he feels Obama betrayed the cause with a stimulus plan that was too SMALL! Last I checked, Gitmo is still open and Khalid Sheik Mohammed is NOT going to be tried in NYC. Obama went to Copenhagen and stiffed the globalist environmental nut-jobs(oops ad-h)and boy were they p*ssed off! He OKed the use of some very large ordinance delivered by Navy sharpshooters through the skulls of impoverished Somali pirates holding a PRIVATE CITIZEN hostage. I see Obama as a pragmatist just like Clinton was though I concede he is farther to the left than Clinton was. Carter was sort of a blame America firster as well and if you want to look at the bright side of that- he put Reagan in office instead of a Milktoast like Nelson Rockefeller by a huge landslide resulting in the eventual fall of the Soviet Union and the Berlin Wall. We as a people tend to right things at the ballot box.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08866969464857145981noreply@blogger.com
