The jury is out on Obama as it was with FDR when he first was elected, who by the way despite historical revisionism pull the US out of the Great Depression. I was there!

Canada has the wisdom to be grateful that they don't have to contend with Bush and his policies any more.

The key to Obama's approach is that he was a community organizer on the streets of South Chicago. To get anything done for the benefit of the country, he has to attempt to pull people together with different ideas. I can only hope it'll work in his presidency.

Canada sucked up to Harper. As Naomi Klein has said, that was more of the same Shock Doctrine at work. Obama is Harper.
