#1 By default I am 100% VDH - here I disagree politely.

Too late for promises. There is nothing, nothing, which would indicate that if elected he will do anything he has promised during campaign, as he has already proved with his first term.

Transparent Gov? Army of Czars, grand signing of pass it to read it legislation, mystery logs at the white house, and my personal theory that all the golf is to avoid a signed guest list.

Accountability of Big Business? Rabble shaking at best, he has signed away $2tril for Big Auto, Big Insurance, Big Bank, and has championed the cause of King Corn by a policy of increasing biofuel requirements.

Redistribution of wealth? Pie in the sky from the get go, but to be sure, anyone out there feel richer? Snob behind the book store counter get the degree yet, or is the book store gone?

Regain popularity worldwide? I'll give a pass on the Africa Horn strikes but he owns Libya - or did after going to Brazil to buy Big Oil - has in fact turned downward. Used to the ole god damn america great satan crap, now we have foreign investors giving open criticism and pinning the tail on the donkey because they own so much US debt and just see more piling on that they now have the attitude of disdain. That is a international popularity downgrade.

Obama likes business people just fine. His business people. And the business of his people are the people who make business at the expense of business.

But I get VDH's opine, just replace -this president- with -a president-.
