Reply #14: I've refrained from talking politics with my siblings a long time ago, but if one of them

were to ask me now what is Obama's political philosophy (& they wouldn't because only liberals would ask such a question), I'd tell them how much I admire Obama as a man who is sincere about wanting to do what's right for this country, but he's sure got a lot of bad advisors. If he had stuck to doing for this country what he promised to do during his campaign, he'd have the 52% of the people who voted him into office behind him, plus some.

Social Security & Medicare cuts could ruin Obama's chances in 2012 on both sides & in between. I hope that Obama proves to be the man that I think he is on January 25th & says SS & Medicare are to be left alone, despite all the many news articles that have been speculating to the contrary.
