| Barack Obama has EARNED our trust many times over. |

Edited on Fri Nov-21-08 01:27 PM by MarianJack
Barack Obama is our President-Elect (I just LOVE saying and writing that) for one reason.
In a campaign where he was given NO CHANCE early on, he showed his capacity for surrounding himself with the smartest 21st century political minds and was always able to remain steady and presidential while his opponents hung themselves. He deserves the benefit of the doubt from his own supporters.
Sometimes I think that even the Democrats have gotten so conditioned to a stupid president that some of us don't comprehend that the President is in charge. He sets the policies, appoints the Cabinet and, if necessary, fire those Cabinet Officials who don't follow Administration policy.
I don't remember a President taking office in such a strong position in my lifetime. Probably the strongest new President before Obama was Eisenhower in 1953 and before that, FDR in 1933.
As Plaid Adder correctly said, Obama is smarter than we are.
Another DRer used one of my favorite sig lines from this election, I can imagine our Prez-Elect saying "Everybody chill the FUCK OUT! I got this"
GIVE HIM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. He's earned it. If and when he fouls up, I'll criticize him. Until then (and at least until he's in office) I'm going to let him do what he has shown he is quite capable of doing, govern, inspire and LEAD!
PEACE!
Edited to fix a couple of spelling errors.

| 3. Barack Obama is a politician. |
|
Untrustworthy by profession.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

| 6. Maybe a new style of politician. |
|
There's certainly not anything wrong with THAT!
BTW, thanks for the "Seinfeld" memory, yada, yada, yada.
