“Let’s judge the man on his deeds (or lack of them) rather than our own pre-suppositions.”

I’m all for scrutiny, but let’s scrutinise facts rather than give our attention to paranoid dot-joining.

Oh, I haven’t even donned my tinfoil yet. These are just his stated beliefs and those of his advisers.

Hey Dan,

“I’d leave the Obama bashing for a while Ben, give it time, let’s see what happens and let us remember, he can’t do it all, he’ll do what he can at a pace that his country can handle”

I’d leave the Obama bashing for a while Ben, give it time, let’s see what happens and let us remember, he can’t do it all, he’ll do what he can at a pace that his country can handle and if we can’t handle that we should just keep our noses out with our lay-knowledge of the American political system and mindset.
