Ok - or maybe he was stating his intentions, his hopes if you like, and perhaps he's going to get as much done as he can in the time he has and the circumstances allow - but given that he is eating an elephant, small bites is all he can do. Might be a bit romantic, but I like to think if he could, he'd do the lot or die trying (that was a metaphor, not a threat to the president just in case some over zealous SS are reading!)

A patriot speaks.

Ucantusethatname - "Government takeover of banks, car manufacturers and corporations" - don't you mean bail out after the credit driven Bush bubble burst in an attempt to save jobs, keep the economy afloat and prevent recession from slipping into depression? "Supporting the gay agenda to destroy traditional family values" The gay agenda is a civil rights issue - not a a family values one - unless you have the family values of some hick living back in the 1920's. "Appointing tax cheats to the Cabinet" - er.....really, after Bush's record? Really? "takeover the nation's healthcare system" - I thought he was trying to set up an alternative for people who currently have none. I understand you can keep whatever you currently have if you are happy with it. "Whether the stimulus avoided another depression is problematic." - No it's not - it's called economics. "Dems will continue to spend, spend, spend" yup - that is how a party which is intent on upgrading infrastructure, replacing old inefficient systems and pushing through reform has to do it - Nothing comes for free - except of course nothing. "apologizing to the world and denigrating America" I see you have an issue with humility - Are you one of those "Peace through superior fire power" dudes who think Iraq and Afghanistan are good for showing the world who's boss? Where I come from, you get respect for saying please when you don't have to, and for taking responsibility for the consequences of your actions. You entire outburst is so emotive and although a few of your points makes sense - on the whole, they are pretty intent on slamming and not on seeing the reality of the situation the whole world is battling against right now. I'm not saying Republican's are necessarily worse - But they are different - and it was time for a change - and a bit further on it will be time for a change again. It's how the whole history thing works. I'm sorry life has made you feel so bittter about reality. I sincerely hope you get to feel good about your country at some point in the next 4 years - be a shame not to.
