Obama is just a product of the Chicago machine. So, he's better than Bush, better than Santorum, better than Romney, better than Palin, better than McCain.

But not a whole lot different than Daley or Rahm. Not a progressive.

He's going to give ground on Social Security, Medicare, and he'll do it without getting anything in return.

He got my vote because he was better than the other guy. That's all.
