Did you listen to Obama's victory speech Tuesday night? Two days later I will stretch my memory to remember all of the promised changes.

1. He will change the cost of college.

2. He will change he cost of gasoline.

3. He will reduce CO2 emissions to 80% of 1990 levels.

The list goes on and on. The promises are unpriceable and or undoable.

Let's look at some of these.

1. College - will he change the work ethics of the leftist elites called professors?

2. Gasoline - will the world donate oil to Obama - beating up Exxon is stupid rhetoric (demonizing?)?

3. CO2 emissions at 80% of 1990 - will he lead the movement to nuclear power?

The speeches have two parts. The first part is inspirational and down right thrilling when he talks about uniting the country. The second part contains the promises - listen closely - the promises are mind boggling. The second part is where the most left Senator shows his true stripes!
