It's how they are utilized that is important.

Congress shut the government down, Barack could have done much more with EOs, but he is a patient man methinks.

Watch out after Barack's reinstatement/confirmation, whatever it is that happens this year.

When Obama is in for his last 2 years,

I think the MIC/PNAC big pharma big oil, etc., are gonna get slapped silly.

I'm hoping I'm correct in assuming Obama is just biding his time to make a big positive change in the USA.

It takes quite some time for a newcomer to the WH to learn how to make changes.

Dimson didn't need any time - he was a puppet from the get-go.

Barack Obama is no puppet imo.
