<Or they get someone like Obama, who slowly tweaks things better.> Obama is not tweaking things better -- on the contrary, he is practicing his prose while Rome burns. We are in a crisis -- a financial crisis, a health care crises and a crises of the basic legitimacy of the institutions of democracy and market capitalism. If Obama had run on a platform of "let me be your tweaker" we would have all chipped in and bought him a pair of short pants and a backpack to carry his bottle of milk to school. America thought it elected a leader who would get things done -- and he is not delivering -- and that is being polite. Bush was a terrible President -- arguably the worst in the history of the country -- but Obama, if he fails to deliver change, will go down in history as the biggest disappointment in the history of the USA. No balls, no change. No change, no reason to have Obama in the White House. Tweaking will lead this country down the path of self-destruction.

From US a President in 1961: <<Down the long lane of the history yet to be written America knows that this world of ours, ever growing smaller, must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect. Such a confederation must be one of equals. The weakest must come to the conference table with the same confidence as do we, protected as we are by our moral, economic, and military strength. That table, though scarred by many past frustrations, cannot be abandoned for the certain agony of the battlefield. Disarmament, with mutual honor and confidence, is a continuing imperative. Together we must learn how to compose differences, not with arms, but with intellect and decent purpose. Because this need is so sharp and apparent I confess that I lay down my official responsibilities in this field with a definite sense of disappointment. As one who has witnessed the horror and the lingering sadness of war -- as one who knows that another war could utterly destroy this civilization which has been so slowly and painfully built over thousands of years -- I wish I could say tonight that a lasting peace is in sight.>> coursesa.matrix.msu.edu
