[quote=12thMan;498347]I think you can pretty much count on Barack governing from the center. And when it's all said and done, I think he'll lose some friends on the left and gain some new ones on the right.[/quote]

Try telling that everyone tossing out the word "socialist".

Obama has used the word himself in the past. Hey he won but I still do not think he is going to run things as a moderate as some here think. If he did then I will feel lucky that how I feel now did not come true. If anything he is going to move to the left now that the election is over.

That quote is pretty damn awesome. How I wish that we lived in a world where politicians would come out and speak their mind in exactly that manner.

Ignorance is very dangerous. You would think someone running for president would know how many states there is. I mean when did you know there was 50 states in America? Maybe the 2nd grade. How could someone get confused about that one?

Then count yourself lucky, First. Obama will move to the center on some things, and remain, well, a Democrat (left) on most of his issues.

Besides, let's stop getting too caught up on what's right and what's left. How about moving forward and not backwards. How about solving problems. Who really cares which party get's credit.

Present!!!! X 180. I hope he is not stupid. As a former Illinois native that voted for him in to get in the senate. I have some concerns for him voting present instead of yes or no. I don't care who you are, you vote on something.

I hope he does a good job as president. I may of not voted for him but I will support him. Canada is too cold and Mexico is too messed up. I don't understand the spread the wealth idea. I am not rich by no means and by what is campaign promises I hope he sticks to his word. But we have all heard the no new taxes phrase. If that is what the Hollywood actors and athletes want then I hope they enjoy paying extra on taxes.

My three main issues although there is many beyond this is, Taxes, Energy (oil/gas), and homeland security. I hope he does good on those.
