The Key
Okay, this guy is a bit of a ... liberal? Not really. Tin foil hat guy? Kinda. I don't think he's anti-capitalist, and he's certainly not socialist/marxist. He reaslly is more a back-hills-of-Montana tract scribbler. Except I don't think he wants to blow anybody up.
However, deep within, after you dig through some of the rhetoric, are, I believe, some core truths about the way we in America deal with debt, fool ourselves about our "prosperity" and such.
Today he has a paragraph that captures my feelings on Obama: cautious optimism: Elections are important, even profound theater, but we should remember that government is more an army than a leader. Just as Bush's presidency was defined by his appointments of neocons, incompetents, sychophants and Wall Street insiders to positions of power, so too will Obama's presidency be defined by his choices for the numerous positions of day-to-day responsibility in the Pentagon, Treasury Department, FEMA, and so on. My greatest hope for the Obama presidency is the appointment of sober competence in key positions of power in the Federal government.
That's basically it. I believe he will choose people right for the post, not based on his buddies' suggestions but by thinking hard & choosing the most appropriate, effective person. I believe he's that kind of person, so my hope is high. But cautious.
