Watching the formation of Obama's cabinet and administration over the last week or so, I wonder how many diehard supporters are having second thoughts. They're not being very vocal if they are, but I think we'll hear from them soon.
He ran against the Iraqi war, but now is keeping Gates on as defense secretary, and is also sounding like troops will come home when the time is right. IOW, his strategery is looking a lot like Bush's.
He ran promising tax cuts for the middle class and raising taxes on "the rich," but has brought on finance advisers who are supply-siders, and is starting to backtrack on tax increases on anyone. At least short term, his economic policies look like those of GW.
Some of his financial advisors don't believe in universal healthcare, think that it would be a disaster, and favor a smaller and more tailored approach to health care. Bush again?
He ran promising to bring change to Washington, but selected a DC insider for VP, ala Dick Cheney. GW, anyone?
I'm beginning to think that the people who wanted real change should have voted for McCain.
