1. A few days ago I may have voted "somewhat disappointed"
But a number of folks here have convinced me to keep faith in Barack based on what he's accomplished and how well he manages.

Based on that, I'm "neutral" or wait-and-see.

5. He's very smart, a great manager
That's why I'm backing them even if they are a bit more moderate than I had hoped.

7. Very pleased. Trust him totally.
Can't wait to see what he'll do for America.

(And I'm spending a LOT less time at DU, now that most of the threads are nothing but complaints about Obama.)

So I really like THIS thread. Thank you. :)

11. It's going to take some getting used to...
Edited on Sat Nov-22-08 11:03 PM by MazeRat7
that is having "qualified" and reasonably "intelligent" folks in senior mgmt/policy positions. So yeah, I'm pleased but cautious.

Peace,

12. Not exactly thrilled.
But I'm keeping the powder dry and giving him a chance. They certainly seem competent, and that's a huge step up from the heckuva job Brownies.

13. Could be better......
but same could be said about almost anything. I believe Obama knows what he's doing and is picking people from the Clinton administration because he will need their experience to get things done.
