So, will the Obamaphiles be as bad as the Bushies?

No we wont. I am already ready to criticize Obama. But keep in mind I dont stick to party loyalty like Republicans under the Bush admin.

I view everything in a rationalist view and I think democrats, repubs, and independents voted for Obama because he was the RATIONALIST choice in the election, not for any of the reasons CNN said.

That said, Obama's speech inspired me to a new level of patriotism last night and I'd love to get involved in federal service ASAP. Last nights speech was humble, inspired, and broad. I think anyone should have been touched by it and hopefully it will inspire a new love for America on both sides of the aisle... could be the dawn of a new gilded age for us! One can hope

In modern times I have only heard one other man TALK as well. The way he has started the youth movement . All very inspireing. But I have heard that speech before in another time in a depressed economy. The words were differant but the TONE was the same.

Obama will upset people on the left, just like Bush upset people on the right, but I'm sure Obama will have a brigade of defenders and apologists no matter what he does, just like every president has had.

I think this is the type of change the Obamabots were looking for.

What about Obama's previous misteps with the Constitution(well according to people flipping out about FISA etc) ?

I think you will see a new 'Church Committee' on intelligence that will investigate the living shit out of the last 8 years.

There will be a new updated FISA law - but the TelCos won't lose their retroactive immunity.

The OP has the audacity to use Clinton as an example? We've been dealing with Bush apologists for the last 8 years. These are the people that argue there are still WMDs buried in Iraq. Give me a break.
