Reply #1: Although, I would prefer non-partisan, I do see the beginnings of a shift.

No, we won't wake-up on Jan. 21st, 2009 to a U.S.A. where the streets are paved with gold. (Although to many, myself
included, it will seem to be so.) I'm beginning to think President Obama means to make us a whole Country again.

It will take time. Which, I don't mind, because to do it properly requires time. If we were to quickly make a radical shift,
it would last only a short while before the pendulum again swings back too far the other way. Easy come, easy go.

It took us 50 or more years to get into this state of being.

Now, that said... There are a few problems where people's lives and livelihoods are being dangerously effected by
the Status-quo. These issues require prompt action and I'm glad to hear action is already being brought to bear as
soon as the transition occurs.

But, is it soon enough? Only time will tell.
