>>> all you do is bitch about what you presume will take place

Nobody knows what Obama is going to do because his positions have flipped and flopped all over the place. The range of possibilities is is infinite. Will he try to kill the 2nd Amendment? Nobody knows.

Will he try to create a Gestapo? Not out of the question.

Will he try to get tax increases in the face of economic crisis, even though we know tax increases kill an economy? Who knows? He said he would, but does he now have the gumption to realize it would be a mistake?

Will he try to withdraw troops from Iraq faster than ANYONE who knows anything about the subject is recommending? Or will he understand there are excellent reasons why a faster withdrawal should not be attempted?

Will he start dumping troops into Afghanistan as he has claimed he would, even though doing so may be devastating if not done pursuant to a greater strategy?

Will he cut missile defense or quickly come to realize just how stupid that would be?

As Krauthammer has recently pointed out, there are national security matters he is now becoming privy to that will make his hair stand on end. Will he ignore the intelligence in favor of campaign promises made in ignorance, or will he come to his senses?

What we do not know about this neophyte is far more than we DO know. So nobody can "presume" anything; we have to wait and see what direction he and the liberals in Congress decide to take us. It is our process and we must live with it. And hope like hell he isn't as stupid as would be apparent.
