Well, he did run a brilliant campaign. That says something about his
political skills.


The credit goes to David Axlerod, IMO.




Interestingly, it followed his first official Intel briefing. It will
be hard for people like you to recognize at first, but I am willing to
bet that Obama's policy concepts will begin to sound more and more like
existing foreign policies.

Historically, foreign policy has been bipartisan. It should be no
surprise if Obama returns to that concept. Of course, that will require
rectifying Bush's blunders.

Have Bush's policies been bipartisan? They seem to be when funding is
required, but quickly disavowed.
What ever happened to Pelosi's 100 day "plan"?

Watching Scarborough this morning as I type. He and Mike Barnicle just
finished discussing how Obama's perception of the world has likely already
changed following his initial Intel briefing. Expect symbolic changes, but
nothing of substance. Only thing is, people like Pelosi and Ried will stop
complaining.
