Yes, we have faced a unique enemy for the past eight years: namely Bush/Cheney. They have been far more of a threat to the safety and stability of this country than any so-called terrorists. Their legacy includes: lying to everyone in order to justify the invasion and occupation of Iraq; not only cleaning out the U.S. Treasury but adding literally trillions of dollars of more debt that will take decades for all Americans that follow after Bush/Cheney to pay off; complete incompetency in handling the greatest natural disaster (Hurricane Katrina) that we have experienced; establishing the concept of the imperial presidency; suspending Habeas Corpus, one of the founding principles of this country; breaking federal law with impunity through warrantless wiretaps; immorally embracing and authorizing the torture of other human beings; brokering a huge transfer of wealth from low and middle income people to the already wealthy through tax cuts for the rich, and ad nauseam. It should be made clear to Bush that his legacy as "worst president in history" is already firmly secured and he does not need to do anything else completely insane, like military action against Iran, to achieve his legacy.

"As Matt argued yesterday, we should consider the strong possibility that Obama isn't moving to the center at all, but rather that he was in the center all along."

Voting to approve the FISA bill is NOT in the center or moving toward the center. It is way to the right of center where Bush/Cheney and cohorts flourish. The center is where you stand up for the U.S. Constitution, defend it against attacks from the right wing, and embrace the rule of law. Voting to eviscerate the Fourth Amendment and provide retroactive immunity to telecons that colluded with George Bush to break federal law for six years is about as far to the right as you can get. I am getting a vague feeling of "buyer's remorse" when it comes to Barack Obama.

I was a fan of Katie Couric and was looking forward to her groundbreaking role as a major news anchor. On her first night she had on George Bush and the second night she entertained us with Rush Limbaugh. Giving prime air time to the two biggest liars in America was too much for me. I have not watched her news program since. From an older white guy.

I supported Barack Obama because I wanted a complete change from the incompetent, corrupt, and immoral Bush/Cheney regime.

Obama is highly intelligent, eloquent, involved, and knows how to work with the team he has selected to accomplish goals that are in the best interest of the United States and the world. I am very happy with the change I have seen so far.
