    Wyatt18,

    I think you should get back on your meds. All of Barry Hussein Obama's actions are reactive not quite the same as a posteriori. I just love your choice of such soft and eloquent words. That makes you much more intelligent and respected (insert sarcasm here). Put simply: Barry Obama looks at what is popular and beneficial to his personal aspirations and then follows because he lacks principals, knowledge, experience and the leadership necessary to act first. What is right isn't always popular! Your sheep will see that over the next 4 years if Obama pursues all his said campaign objectives. Maybe Obama, the lawyer, can muscle more lenders into giving poverty stricken persons loans to live beyond their means (enter collapse of Fannie and Freddie and economy). After all, they know how to better manage a handout than a responsible person like me would. My bet, Barry will back off most his stances as he realized just how foolish and naive he was. You come over to my neighborhood and see how much your ???soft power??? gets you! My guess, you???ve never lead anything in your life and haven???t a clue what it takes to be successful. The world doesn???t bow to ???soft power??? rather laughs at it! I???ve been over seas to see just how ridiculous and weak they recognize our political correctness, soft power to be. Don???t get me wrong. I wish nothing other than reason, logic, and professionalism were necessary to resolve differences, but that just isn???t true. I also hope that Barry is successful, makes the right choices, and gives the responsible opportunities. I haven???t been in love with the Bush administration, but am not naïve enough to believe that all of the current problems were a result of that administration.
