<<maybe it's just the afterglow of the bush divorce>> LOL. I voted for him. But I am not expecting miracles form him. After all, they are saying that Larry Summers might be the Treasury Sec. Another bubble boy. For a speedy recovery, this economic recovery has to take its course. The more they try to solve it, the more problems they will create. Case in point: One of the cause for recent hedge fund liquidations the short-sale ban. It totally screwed many hedge funds. By definition hedges have to short to hedge their long positions. Duh!

No, you're right, it's something more than just that, imo. Younger folks probably are a bit dazzled, they've never seen a politician you could admire before, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict that he might be the real deal, a once in a generation Churchillian or Trudeauesque (google him -- he's the one who pirouetted behind the Queen -g) figure and leader. No of course he won't get everything done he 'promised', but he might be just what you need -- anybody who could come from here ... To here -- with one hell of a lot of Hollywood and Upper East Side money people and back room types in between -- has convinced one hell of a lot of cynical people, not just starry-eyed kids. Everyone mocks his rhetorical skills, but just wait til he gets 50% of rednecks agreeing that a pitchfork march on Wall Street would be a good idea, y'all won't be mocking me then. <g>
