OK maybe I am not done with the thread, just with the topic of the thread as stated by Tim.

>>I still think Obama's a good man, but he hasn't been able to reach the "tipping point" where he has the overwhelming popularity required to really accomplish something in this complex nation of ours. Will he reach that point? I'm not sure. Much as I disliked him, I think Ronald Reagan was one of the few who was able to achieve real change in the U.S.<<

I think Obama has accomplished a lot in a year and a half. I'm pretty confident that Health Care on its own will overshadow anything Reagan did.

Obama will also oversee the sunsetting of the Bush tax cuts. By the end of two terms the budget will be balanced again. Lets just hope that by then, whoever the Democrats nominate will be smart enough to beat Sarah Palin.
