I would have to see him DO something good before I change my low opinion of him. Giving a speech doesn't count as doing something. Hard left. A trillion dollar deficit w/i 4 yrs. New wars abroad. New attacks on Americans either at home or abroad. WW economic depression. Thats what I expect. His only qualification is Harvard Law Review.

Al, I don't think so...we'll see...the important question is, if he does govern as a centrist, will people like you join in...or get out of the way at the very least? It seems that nobody has any idea of what he is planning to do, how he is planning to govern. We well have to wait what he does. I surely hope to be pleasently surprised. For example, I am really pleasently surprised by our new governor in New York (Patterson) who succeeded Spitzer. He is a Dem, also black, but surprisingly to me (and probably to a lot of Dems), he is governing as a centrist, and it seems, in a more responsible way than either Dem Spitzer or GOP Pataki. So I surely am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. But, one has to remember that Obama is already on record as being against a secret ballot, and one of his aparatchiks in MO tried to sue some media outlet for broadcasting "falsehoods" about him. Given his record, if he does govern as a centrist, it will certainly be an unexpected turn for him... Joe
