Towards a second term:
"Part of his job is to stay in touch with the American people, and the White House can be a very suffocating place if you don’t get out and talk to people."

DAVID AXELROD, a senior adviser to President Obama, speaking of the presidential visit back home to Chicago.

1. He certainly is getting out and talking to people.
He was in Elkhart, Indiana and Florida. Now he is going to Colorado to sign the stimulus bill.

Those are brilliant moves.

2. I think so,
and I suspect that he'll continue to spend LOTS of time away from Washington. He won't be successfully labeled a creature of Washington, but rather a true servant of the people.

3. Obama is teaching us what it means to be a real public servant.
One who works for the people everyday.
Not furthers self and cronies.


The Psychic Consortium, months before the election,
correctly predicted the Obama win.

4. While he has done some great things, he still isn't working
whereby the system is fully restored when he is against investigation and prosecution of crimes by the government and helped in the cover up in the British case. I need to see some movement in that area.

7. The rule of law doesn't require time, just adherence.

6. There will be movement .
This is a 100% certainty.

Most of the Obama work on this issue will be behind the scenes.
This work began during the campaign.

The movement will appear to originate from other sources.
Obama will not stop it, and be perceived as reluctantly going
along with it. But all the time he knows the truth will be exposed.
As typical, everyone will have the opportunity to do the right thing.
If that does not happen, it is tough love time.

The Psychic Consortium, months before the election,
correctly predicted the Obama win.
