    Calming?

    Somehow when Obama speaks he doesn't make me feel calmer, just confused about all the change he was supposed to bring. Most of the cabinet seems to be Clinto retreads, beginning with the spare tire herself. Then there are the Bush people at the Trrasury. Bush won the war for Obama, all he has to do is deal with the peace. That is, if IIndia and Pakistan don't go to war. Bush also left him with a bailout and he had been hope that someone knows what they are doing. Nothing he has said yet makes me believe he knows more than what he reads in the journals. As for his big fix, five-year plans never seem to work out.
