his campaign promises are pretty much all in trouble, and his only hope is to deliver a strong recovery to the rust belt. Good luck with that...enough government money and fiscal stimulus and he might pull it off, but that would require a repug congress to hand out a lot of blank checks. They sis it for Reagan, of course, but I don't see it happening this time.

When change doesn't happen, again, the angry masses will vote for change again. Wash, rinse, repeat. I suppose the main thing that perplexes me is that the majority of people who believe in small government also blame government for not fixing everything in the world.
