Agree to disagree I guess. I think it's extremely important to look at what previous Administrations did when judging the character and effectiveness of the current one... I find that when some judge Obama without the context of previous President's it seems to fit a certain motive... my opinion though.

Does Obama suck now, or is he still a few weeks away?
