[Vision2020] Obama

[lfalen]

Obama won for there reasons. 1. A brilliant campaign (Alelrod may deserve the credit here). 2. A more than 3 to 1 money advantage. 3. The economy melt down. This last one is pure serendipity for Omama. If Kerry had been elected last time this would still have occurred and no one could blame the Republicans.  The seeds were sown when Carter signed "The Community Reinvestment Act " into law. This laid the groundwork for ACORN and Obama to pressure banks into making loans to high risk people. With Obama advising ACORN they took Citibank to court over discriminatory lending and won. 
McCain and some other republicans sounded an alarm about Freddie and Fannie in 2004. Obama, Franks and Pelosi said Freddie and Fannie were just find. None of this is to excuse the vultures on wallstreet. All of this aside Obama's is truly an American success story. He went from rags to riches and archived the highest elected office in the land. This is a great tribute to him. He now has it within his grasp to become a truly great president if he will govern from the center right to the center left. If he reverts to his political roots and governs from the hard left, it will be a disaster for both him and the nation. It is his choice. Who he picks for a cabinet may give us some idea in which direction he is heading.
