It seems as though P.E. Obama is making a good impression so far:
- Not upstaging the current President while taking ownership of the Economic Crisis
- Getting ready for a full court press on day-one
- Rounding up the smartest kids in the class (they're also the most experienced and this seems to be causing some minor commotion by some asking, "where's the change?" But history has shown that Washington chews up or at least ignores newbies so this question is being whispered more than shouted.)
I think the thing that excites most people is the fact that P.E. Obama seems to genuinely want to close the now huge gap that exists between our stated values as a people/country and the actual fascist practices of our government over the last several decades.
Check out: The Limits of Power: the end of American exceptionalism by Andrew J. Bacevich. Bacevich has doubts and suspects that our new President may have the same delusions and skewed view of history as his predecessors but I hope P.E. O. proves him wrong.
