For every thread on ATS that claims doom and gloom when Barack Obama takes office, I offer this observation:
1) This outgoing admin has done much to damage the constitution, the nation's security and our dependence on oil. I don't see or have seen anything
that President-elect Obama will do to make this worst.
2) Most of the complaints against him come from rumors brought up by political campaign double talk.

3) If what our government has been doing has not worked then what would it possibly hurt to try something new.
