What kind of presidents do you think BHO/JM would be?

There is a $hit load of talk on both sides.
Palin/McCain and supporters are running around that the world will end because Obama wants to become a socialist.

On the other side, McCain/Palin are indicating we'd have a religion based war-mongering country.

I have seen two separate talking heads (Joe Scarborough and Bill Kristol, editoir of the weekly standard) with right leanings say that Obama will be a fairly standard liberal president, not some socialist pinko commie. I tend to agree, I have never thought he would radically fundamentally change the country in 4 or 8 years.

So who thinks what?

He'll be somewhere between Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. Somewhere between far left to center left. Both of whom the Republic survived. Just as we've survived every President, the good, the bad, the average and the mediocre.

Another rich, priveledged golden party boy like we have now.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Exactly!
We've had 8 years of a downward spiral. I cannot fathom why people want more of the same.

Obama will not be the end of the world as we know it!

The best part of our process, is every 4 years we get someone new;
golden party boy or not... I know I have been counting down the last days of this administration, I'm sure it will happen again in a few months, and for every term in perpetuity.

It was nice to hear some common sense from the right....
