Obama-unism --

So, in my last political post -- I expressed some concern about Rahm Emanuel ... but I heard a few things about him and watched him on one of those Sunday talk shows this week (I don't think it was "Meet the Depressed", but it might have been). But, that's beside the point. I thought he handled himself well -- and I understand his father was very active when the state of Israel was established. So, I am willing to give him a pass as he gets started in his new assignment with president-elect Obama. He is tough, but that should be a good thing.

Also, nice to know that many liberal Clinton Democrats are being considered for a variety of posts in the new administration. I was afraid that green lizard-men from outer-space were what we were going to be looking at ...

Now, I've heard some other names that I am concerned about -- some being mentioned for Attorney General should give us pause to consider -- so we'll wait to hear more.

I think the "undecided voters" in the country are moving toward the left and socialism. And I think that, in part, is because of the dumming down of America caused by a variety of factors including a very poor school system ...

I really don't think many in the country understand the difference between capitalism and socialism. It is a lesson that I think will be imposed on us soon.

The problem has also been -- the Republican party leadership that has tried to be as liberal as the opposition -- not understanding the true base and values of conservatism. I blame Bush ... and McCain would have been more of the same.

So, the change will be interesting -- and hopefully the pendulum will not swing too far left and get stuck in a socialist-fascist place that will create chaos in our political system and our way of life. It has to be able to swing both ways ... or the America we love will never return.

Just my 2-cents worth -- invest it wisely.
