1. Obama, with all of his actions and decisions in the last month, looks like
Steady Eddie, Mr. Dependable. McCrazy looks...well, crazy.

2. Obama even preempted W's plan to scare the bejesus out of us tonight
Obama just said that this current problem can be solved.

I can see W's team rewriting his speech for tonight. It needs major revisions after Obama's calming tone of today.

5. I actually am getting rather tired of this American fetish for "strong leaders"
Like we all crave to be ruled by some strongman.

Saddam Hussein, Hitler, Mao and Stalin were all "strong leaders" too.

I'd rather have a representative as president for awhile.

7. For the past 8 years, we've been "ruled" by a dumb man.
I think Americans are afraid of a smart man.
