Well done Genghis. I just listened to a clip of Chomsky on Democracy Now and I was both shocked and dismayed regarding Noam's cynicism.

I think you nailed Obama's style and intent. I fully expect him to be able to get many important items passed by not allowing them to be mired in left-right politics. After all-is Health Care or Education a liberal v conservative issue? Only on the edges.

At any rate, your article was refreshing-good to see that you are still going at it.

Yes, Orlando, very good point. I was amazed that the campaign asked us all to fill out that questionnaire to find out how much we want to stay involved. It's the start of a new and important interaction between our gov't and us people.

In reply to Change What?

What I like the most so far is that the transition team is soliciting ideas and feedback from us, in an attempt to involve Americans in their government again.

After 8 years of having not only my voice but also my concerns completely ignored by the supposed leader, it's as surprising as it is refreshing.

Hey!! I resemble that

Hey!! I resemble that remark! Don't worry about my mother, she's got my two sisters and the rest of the family with her. I saw her this past weekend to make up for the fact that I won't be there. She's cool with it. But if you want to go anyway, be prepared to fight all night with the Republicans (98% of my family). Only two of my many nieces are liberal, so you won't have much back-up.

Who says that she didn't? I had to decline due to my own family obligations. Enjoy your bloodless turkey.

I think the "Republican mother and right-leaning Independent sister" gave it away, yeah...God knows, everyone at TPM feels like they know both of them by now. I'm surprised you're not all wondering why my mother didn't invite you to Thanksgiving dinner!
