Change? Less than you might think

As some of us who do not wear blinders are becoming aware, Obama is not "changing", the way he said he would.

In particular, the ways of keeping our nation safe. As is quoted,
"Obama will be loath to throw away the tools that have kept the homeland safe. Just as he will be loath to jeopardize the remarkable turnaround in American fortunes in Iraq. Obama opposed the war. But the war is all but over. What remains is an Iraq turned from aggressive, hostile power in the heart of the Middle East to an emerging democracy openly allied with the United States. No president would want to be responsible for undoing that success."

Obama is learning the truth about the economy, terror and what it means to be President, etc. It is a shame that he waited until he was elected to learn these things.
Hopefully his learning curve will be short and he will rely on "those in the know."

I'll back whoever becomes President, because that what Americans do (to a point. Clinton should have been impeached.) That's what people do who love America (hey Michelle) and want the best for the next generation.

Please, future Presidential candidates, have more experience and less naivety.

Good luck Obama, and I mean that!
