I don't believe people assign the current vector to Obama .....some applaud and some disdain the better living through more encompassing government vector...he is the assignee , they're smart enough to understand the issues that face the country are much, much larger than the past 3+ years. you (and Zimmy) can't seem to decide whether they're smart enough or not smart enough, either way another gross generalization

I also don't believe most people think the country needs a big ideological shift but rather just basic governmental responsibility. This is independent of party...if most people(reference the RCP poll) feel the country is headed in the wrong direction consistently over a long period, that might indicate the desire for a big idealogical shift which is actually not a shift but a return to our founding ideals and principles in response to the BIG idealogical shift currently being forced on us...most people can't help it, it's ingrained in us as Americans...at least "most people"

tossing around the "extreme" card is a little silly and desperate sounding...it's been grossly overused

you probably should have done a bit more investigation before posting that...

these are great examples of where extreme has appeared in my posts, can't promise I haven't used in the context I mentioned ("extreme" card) myself but ...truly apples and oranges as Spence would say

thanks to an extreme negative phase of the Arctic Oscillation

economic slumps by use of extreme monetary stimulus

“I am a socialist. I live to the extreme left, the extreme left of you mere liberals,” O'Donnell said:

Instead, privileged, wealthy, white Democrats attacked Brown as an "extreme right-wing" judge who didn't care about "civil rights" or the "down-trodden." They were unconstrained by accusations of racism and sexism.

Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) ridiculed Bush nominees including Brown, as "Neanderthals." He attacked Brown as "another extreme right-wing candidate ... a judicial activist who will roll back basic rights."

Sen. #^&#^&#^&#^& Durbin (D-Ill.) said: "Janice Rogers Brown is one of President Bush's most ideological and extreme judicial nominees."


but at least you got a self satisfied chuckle

oh, this is a good one where I quoted Spence

I accept your apology...fishing was great this weekend, got my neighbor and his boy out on their yak alongside one of my daughters and I for a great morning Sunday, they're addicted now, fun to see....Saturday morning produced bigger fish though......one of the twins is already got me scheduled to fish this afternoon..... so I guess I appreciate your advice but I've got that covered
