If/when Barack is president his own party will be his biggest problem.

This makes me uneasy, too. OTOH I read not long ago that the crop of new dems coming into Congress consider themselves moderates and are considered by others to be that.

I still think the reality of the country's budget problems will be sobering to all. If not, at least the kind of proposals made by both dems would pump money back into the US economy and not blow it up in Iraq.

I hate the stimulus package, too. This concept was introduced by Bush in 2001 and it was stupid then. Now, I guess it's become part of the lexicon. Dems jumped on this one either because they're ignorant or because they knew the Rs were going to go ahead without them.

The two-party system with its inherent battles for ascendancy is dangerous to common sense budgeting.
