THis will be greatly enhanced by the likely taking of the Senate by the D's and the seats the D's pick up in the House.
Assuming that to be true, Obama inherits as large a mess as FDR did, perhaps even larger. To these eyes, the only way out the mess is to sponsor huge government projects on the lines of the TVA, the Hoover Dam, etc. These will create a huge amount of jobs and greatly enhance our country, if not free it. For example, let's say the Obama places deveral hundred thoudand windmills throughout the country at the govt.'s expense and uses that power to provide lights on public roads and interstates. This clearly is feasible.
I truly hope the confidence placed in Obama is well placed.

Yes if those things happen on election day and it seems very likely they will Obama will be the most powerful Democratic President in decades.It will be with great hope and expectation that I will look forward to see what he can do to get our once great nation back on track..Just the relief I am beginning to feel about the prospects for the Supreme court is lifting my spirits greatly.
