What We Don't Know About President Obama


From Politico:

We know a lot more about Barack Obama than we did on Election Day. He wastes little time making big decisions. He was serious about surrounding himself with seasoned people, even if they are outsized personalities likely to jostle one another and unlikely to salute on command.

My Comment: These are the questions that are still hanging .... !?%!! .... these are very important questions.

Maybe this will change in the next few months. (NOT)

As for President Obama, I expect him to govern from the left. This is his history, and these are the people that he is always associating himself with. Will he change .... I am skeptical. But the Office of the President can sometimes mold the man and not the other way around. For President Obama .... I guess we will know how he will respond to America's problems only in the next year or two.
