>>>Considering even Mike admitted here the UT when I asked him which of Obama's policies he supported, that he goes with his gut instinct, not policies, I'm sure it's even lower than I ever imagined before.

>>>Now to be fair, if you look at the most recent presidential elections alone, few (if any) when in office followed the policies they outlined during the campaign. They get caught up in the bills submitted through congress and their own party and start wheeling and dealing. It's probably not worth even considering anymore!

>>Funny thing is, I just have this feeling that if elected Obama is going to be a pleasant surprise to many of those who currently feel they are on his right, and a real shock/disappointment/target for those who currently are on his side or consider themselves to be on his left.

>So, you think he is suicidal?

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
