Thanks again hazmat.  I'm getting tired of people knocking Obama for behavior that is entirely within character for him, based on his history and personality.  Would I like him to be more progressive?  of course!!  But what do the majority of Americans want and how can we make changes that will stick through another Republican presidency?  If Obama really was the radical liberal some supporters want him to be, he wouldn't have gotten where he is today, and the Republicans wouldn't be nearly as frightened.  Thing is, they should probably welcome a presidency like Obama's, where true bi-partisanship might be a reality on some important issues such as climate change and the economy.
