Corky, Mr. Obama will govern by all the unconstitutional decree-mechanisms developed and implemented by Mr. Bush, and he won't need a mandate or even a filibuster-proof Senate. I tried warning about this back in 2002/2003 when the discussion was intense on the old Yahoo board. I said many times "be careful about the power you give Bush. It will be used by someone you don't like nearly as much". I was trashed for it. Well, now it's here.
Folks, revolutions are never pretty, but they can always be traced back to the abuses of the preceding regime. I don't look forward to it, but everything starting now, including the economic situation, has been warned about since early in the decade, and the chances to put brakes on it were squandered many times, especially in 2004.
