Calling Obama the most liberal Senator in the Senate in 2007 is a myth IMJ, based on a very small number of votes. Our overwhelming fiscal situation of the deficit, the Dollar, Medicare, Social Security, and energy; and our division of power between the President and Congress (and the Judiciary) will maintain balance. Or if McCain wins, he also will have to face those fiscal realities. Weakening the special interests, and getting someone in who is not part of the system, is a positive. I believe there is a lot of "clutter". Most of business has used information processing to get "lean and mean" (increased after-tax profit margins), but our government has not. Some people say Obama has never run anything larger than his campaign (comparing him, for instance, to Mitt Romney). If the campaign is evidence of how he would have a fresh approach to our government's operations - and he did say meetings on healthcare would be broadcast on the Internet - I think his Administration would be fresh, innovative, and inclusive (in the sense of considering input) in ways the public can barely imagine.
