Subject: RE: BS: Obama Goes For Broke
Wishful thinking from the Right. Ain't gonna happen.

I think the Right is scared spitless that Obama is going to pull it off and get the country back on track again. By instituting, or reestablishing badly needed reforms and regulations that they regard as "socialistic." The ones Reagan got rid of, setting the scene for the mess we're now in.

It's all happened before. FDR in the Thirties. Hated and reviled by the Right. But he did institute the regulations and programs that went a long way toward pulling the country out of the Depression, and the Republicans have been smarting ever since.

Until Reagan screwed it up and put the foxes in charge of the chicken coop.
