66. I don't think so.
Edited on Sat Jan-02-10 08:08 PM by LWolf
I saw Obama as a center-right politician the first time I heard him speak, before he was elected to the Senate. Nobody pointed it out to me.

I paid attention to the substance behind the feel-good euphoria of his campaign speeches, and realized that the policies he was dressing up in emotional language were center-right, and therefore unacceptable.

When he was nominated, I hoped the rest of the party knew better than I. I sent him a letter of congratulations and hope for the future on election day.

It didn't take long for me to see the direction he intended to head. His appointments spoke quite loudly about that, and they weren't good.

So I wasn't excited about his inauguration. I already knew what to expect.

I haven't been proven wrong.

Nobody but Obama, his administration, and some "centrists" have been stirring up my opposition.
