I certainly don't agree with some of what he's done. And don't understand a lot more of it. What I am counting on is that he's a very bright man, he's attracted some talented people and what he's trying to do has to get done.

I'm also aware he, and the country, are facing unprecedented problems and are trying to implement new, untried, solutions. There will be mistakes, there will be that which can't be foreseen and unintended consequences. I don't know that there is a solution to any problem which does not create more problems. Hopefully they are more manageable.

I don't understand why Limbaugh, Bachmann, and our Conservatives hate him so much and are hoping for the failure of his programs if he is, as you state, so much in the thrall of Big Money. His entire program is a response to the devastating policies of Bush & Co., which were loved by the super-wealthy. I don't see the commonality, but would be open to an explanation.

It almost seems you are saying that you are frustrated because Obama is just like Bush. How is that so? And didn't you rather like Bush? Wouldn't an Obama who was similar to Bush be comfortable to you?
