That's why we're looking at four more years of the GOP.

Some effect, although in the big picture the impact will likely be marginalized assuming Obama doesn't get his advice from former Kerry campaign staffers.

I think most people are smart enough to understand Obama wasn't some brainwashed flockster who's life hinged on Wright's every word. And the rest, perhaps mostly Hannity fans will still cling to the notion that Obama is a secret Cuban exile who's first official act will be to burn the American flag. There's nothing that will change that as they have more interest in mocking than working for beneficial change.

It's probably safe to assume that Obama's vision, like most of us was influenced primarily by his family and his upbringing...in which case he has a pretty strong American platform to stand on.

It's more than ironic how the party of "family values" is so quick to discount this fact.
