First of all it is very obvious that he is a socialist. Everyone knows that. Socialism is so un-American! If Obama lasts eight years in office, the wonderful U.S. of A. as we know it will no longer exist. Oh no! What will we ever do? Now if a socialist (think Jack Layton, NDP) was in the P.M. seat, I would move out of this country! From my observations, socialism destroys market economies. However, if the economy is already a train wreck, what the hey! Give it a try! It can't get much worse!
If Obama has one good thing going for him, it's that he is concerned about the well-being of his people and the people of this world. He is appalled with atrocities and injustices committed against humanity. This is a nice change from the last guys who didn't seem to care about the well-being of anybody except themselves. He promises education, healthcare, and good union jobs in America. Fair enough. These are all things we take for granted here in Canada. Our back-wards friends to the south are not so lucky.
Over-all, if President Obama can live up to the extremely high standards that everyone expects of him, it will do the world good. Heck, Americans may even realize that there is other nations in this world, not just lands to plunder.
I believe that Obama is a necessity at this point in history. He has the vision of change, which the entire world wants. His socialism should add some stability to the tumultuous American emotion-based economy. I just hope that he remembers (as Leon Trotsky and I discussed one night as I lay dreaming) that the best way to govern a nation is through a healthy mix of socialist and capitalist policies.
