Reply #40: It is frightening and some places like Detroit it looks impossible

The President's gift, I believe, is that he is determined to challenge the basic assumptions of the old conflicts.


It is absolutely true that there are many many many factors that effected American car production.


It is also true that a single factor could bring it back: If US manufacturers built the best electric car in the world we would be making them here and building plants on 5 continents.


The President will fight the battles - like health care - that we have been waiting for. He is also going to stir the pot and get us to look at the question from different points of view to take us into completely new directions.


After the health care issue is over I predict the President will start pushing very hard on changing the energy economy. By speeding up the transformation to sustainable energy production he will be creating higher paid jobs, reducing imports and improving the environment.


Oh and he is wearing the Republicans down. They cannot maintain a "no" to everything and survive. More and more Republicans will start to break with the party and support the President. The damn will break and we will be able to implement the changes you worked so hard for faster and faster.
