I am convinced that this decision offsets anything historically progressive that Obama may accomplish -- if at all. ********************************
I am 3/4's of the way there. LBJ did a lot of good on the domestic side, even as he extended a disastrous foreign policy. Obama is way behind the pace on the domestic front, thus far. Health care is going to suck, but that's a project. You have to pass something, then keep working at it. It will be revised as we go, the worse our politics get, the worse the program will get. Financial regulation is going to come to naught, IMO. That's already a lost cause. >From my bunghole, US foreign policy sucks eggs, all the way around. If we go on some deficit-reduction toot including "entitlement reform," I am off the rez. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
