Let's record some of our positions now, so that we may track changing opinions as time goes by.

It also might prevent people in future from wiggling out of their culpability, or taking credit where it is not due.

Multiple choice allowed, answers public.

None of the extremes are likely. Obama is likely to take the symbolic route. Then again, since he has no record of doing anything significant other than talking and managing one large project, I have no idea.

Where was the selection "I think Obama will do about as well as one might expect following the economic disaster that Bush has handed him".

Guess you would have felt the same way if McCain was in there seeing as he had no executive experience either.

Historically, senators don't generally make good presidents for just this reason.


I'd also put more of the blame for our financial downturn on Congress thanks to the bailout. In general though, I think the the government gets too much blame or praise for the ecconomy. The rooster we're told, takes credit for the rising sun.

None of the above (except 'I did not vote for Obama'; which is trivially true on account of me being foreign). I might agree with the last, depending on the definition of 'klekely'.

Concerning the last one.........He is going to have to put the constitution back in place before he can effectively suspend it. Bush already took care of the effectively suspend part.

I think 20% is a bit to low. More around 30 some odd percent. So I only voted for "I did not vote for Obama" (nor McCain).


I wonder how long it will take the sheeple who voted for his "change" (or lack thereof) to have that final epiphany that says "What the hell did I do".

OC Please define "Klekely" for me. And use it in another sentence. Also, some of the choices are statements of fact and others are opinion. Opinions can change over time as events unfold.

Hell OC I can read the writing on the walls, the first three months will be rocky at best, then a complete transformation.
