I think obama has the potential to be the transformational leader we need now. He is essentially a conservative man and these right wing nut cases on this thread are anything but.

>> Obama will clearly govern from the center.

Oh. That. That was then.

Now that he has proven to be way, way, WAY out of the Left, and bashing America to boot, well, now it is a different story.

There's nothing wrong with socialism. Michael could get to like socialism. Maybe socialism is what we need.

Never have I seen so many people commit themselves to a candidate instead of principles. Michael is one, but they're all over the place.

But they're not ALL doing it. Here's an IM I received from my daughter the other day --

"totally left winger i know from hs posted comment on face book saying.."socialism..it's coming..man do I feel stupid. i bought in to the wrong propaganda. damn you liberal media"

Someone replied to him, "won't ever happen bro...quit listening to Hannity & Rush!!!"

His response? "im not actually listening to limbaugh...but it really is happening...the obama administration has already taken control of more than one business...and they way things are looking...that is only the begining. but i hope you are right."

Not everyone is swallowing it. It is easy to forget sometimes that the liberals on this board, Michael included, are the most extreme of the extreme. A lot of people are starting to have some second thoughts...
