| 24. I take it McCain would have been a better choice for you? |

"....the overwhelming majority of actions and policy I have seen from this administration have been tragic betrayals of social justice and economic fairness."
WOW! Did you expect President Obama to have a magic wand, and with back-and-forth swish, solve all of our country's problems? Either you are so far left you have fallen off the political spectrum and hit your head which, in turn, messed up you reasoning powers or you live on a different planet than I do.
The president has done an excellent job with the plate he was handed....Tell me what is so wrong with his accomplishments so far....he has ordered the closure of the Guantanamo Bay prison and a troop withdrawal from Iraq, made it easier for women to sue for job discrimination, eased restrictions on federally funded stem-cell research, extended health care to millions of children, ousted the head of General Motors, reached out to the Muslim world, moved to ease tensions with Cuba, traveled to Canada, Europe, the Middle East and Latin America, and set aside huge tracts of wilderness for federal protection, has seized on the worst economic crisis since the 1930s and set out to reshape major aspects of everyday life: the price we pay to see a doctor, the size of our children's classrooms, the fuel we put in our cars (Chicago Tribune, April 19, 2009). He has done more for the American people in the four months he has been in office than Bush did in his eight years, or should I say in Cheney's eight years since Bush is looking more and more like a puppet president.
Radical change is not reality. What made you think that radical change was going to happen overnight when President Obama is but one man - he is not a hHgher Power.
