ace, darling, you just go right ahead and make up whatever you like that keeps your boat afloat.
i voted for obama because of his opposition to the iraq debacle.
i voted for him because of his support for health care system overhaul.
i voted for him because i figured that another republican administration after 8 years of the bush people would indicate that the united states had lost it's collective mind and could not be trusted to act in anyone's best interest any more. this became more a factor as neoliberal-land started to come undone in a serious way.
and while i don't support everything he's done, and do not imagine that i will support everything he'll do---i find it a good thing that he's intelligent and curious about the world. and articulate. and the general outline of his policies so far have been a welcome dose of sanity after years of conservative ineptitude.
