That sounds pretty good to me. I just heard Krugman say it in his interview with Charlie Rose.

Biden keeps saying that Obama has put together the finest minds to come up with solutions. Sounds like it. :)

1. I believe that he will surround himself with the best and the brightest, as JFK did.

2. I can't say I totally agree with Obama on many things

But I do have faith in his leadership abilities and intellect. I think he'll do his best to come up with the best solutions and more often than not, those solutions will be good ones. He'll put together lots of smart people who know what they are talking about and work out some good ideas. I am confident in that.

5. Can't complain. I am lucky that I live in a blue city in a blue state.
I do not have to put up with a lot of repukes around me. Virtually every friend and relative is of the same political bent as I am...
I guess they would not be my friend if they were not.. ;)

Even the weather has been very nice here this Fall.

I am still on the search for a job, since my last boss decided to retire and close down his business.

Not too much call for an educated, computer literate older-than-yuppie citizen these days. I did not even get a job as a customer service person for a fuel oil company for which I applied!!:-(

I am looking forward to the new year, and the new President. I KNOW things will be better.


:thumbsup: :hi:
