Barack Obama's senior advisers have drawn up plans to lower expectations for his presidency if he wins next week's election, amid concerns that many of his euphoric supporters are harboring unrealistic hopes of what he can achieve. Hmmmmm.....I wonder where his "euphoric supporters"got all their 'unrealistic hopes' from?? Him and his campaigne maybe....He's back pedaling already and he hasn't even won the election. Doesn't this say volumes to those that are supporting him??? CHANGE??? Yes there's going to be lots of change....he's changing his plans, he changing what he said he was going to do, he's changing the $250K to $150K...... But you're all still following him..... And he's ALREADY telling you that want he's been saying he's going to do....he's not!!

I'm not buying it. I don't believe there is a widely held expectation that an Obama win will magically make all the damage done over the last 8 years disappear. Regardless of who wins, the president elect will be taking the helm when the United States is in the worst condition since the Great Depression...fighting 2 wars, in reccession, and $10 trillion in debt. It wouldn't be smooth sailing for either candidate.
I think the point is that with an Obama win, we would would at least be working to undo the damage that has been done rather than continuing with the same policies that brought our country to this position in the first place.

If it doesn't come from one of your LIBERAL BIASED media outlets then it must not be true....it's just SPIN. If Clinton News Network or one of the equally biased networks was running this story then it would be the TRUTH and not SPIN right? You'd believe it then, RIGHT? Doesn't matter though, just like the LA TIMES none of the LIBERAL BIASED MSM is going to release anything they think will hurt BARRACK the BOY WONDER. Until AFTER the election that is...

It was done by 16 years of failed policy, including 8 years of CLINTON. How about lets blame ALL at fault here not just BUSH. How about your majority run Congress with the LOWEST approval rating, even lower then BUSH.....  "I voted against the war before I voted for it"..... Remind me again....who's line is that???

Until AFTER the election that is... How true. Even the mighty Obama will be free game for criticism by his liberal MSM allies should he take office. Let the back stabbing begin. Obama is clueless about economic issues. Bill Clinton reveals the truth. "I haven't cleared this with him and he may even be mad at me for saying this so close to the election, but I know what else he said to his economic advisers (during the crisis)," Clinton told the crowd at a Wednesday night rally with Obama in Florida. "He said, 'Tell me what the right thing to do is. What's the right thing for America? Don't tell me what's popular. You tell me what's right -- I'll figure out how to sell it.'" http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/30/clinton-suggests-obama-uncertain-economic-crisis/

http://www.faithfreedom.org/obama.html It is surreal to see the level of hysteria in his admirers. This phenomenon is unprecedented in American politics. Women scream and swoon during his speeches. They yell and shout to Obama, “I love you.” Never did George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt. Martin Luther King Jr. or Ronald Reagan arouse so much raw emotion. Despite their achievements, none of them was raised to the rank of Messiah. The Illinois senator has no history of service to the country. He has done nothing outstanding except giving promises of change and hyping his audience with hope. It’s only his words, not his achievements that is causing this much uproar. How does EVERYONE not see this? ........ He's done NOTHING....No service to Country, No Experience for this job....NO major accomplishments (yes, I know he's smart, but so are a lot of other people).....NOTHING but promise CHANGE.....and then keep CHANGING what CHANGE he's going to make... I thought politicains usually waited UNTIL AFTER the election to CHANGE THEIR PROMISES!! But the liberals follow him like sheep to the slaughter....

I do think the media is slanted...
After the election, Fox News will be blocked again. How anyone can watch that garbage, I don't know.
IMO, only Keith Olbermann & Rachel Maddow seems to have an unbiased grasp of the issues.

In the end analysis...politicians ARE salesmen. VERY effective salesmen...that hopefully surround themselves with intelligent and experienced advisors with whom a group consensus can be accomplished. The President then sells and signs off on the groups plans. Same goes for McCain. He's no economic guru and unfortunately has promised his top economic positions to Gramm and others who are CLEARLY incapable. The change we really need is the change in the "intelligent and experienced advisors" department. We need new ideas, new faces, a NEW generation at the controls. They won't be perfect. I know that. Their "failures" will be many and they will be well documented in the coming few years, however, to me, it is clear that the current Republican administration from top to bottom needs to be replaced. Period...end of story. Mr. Wondering

One that accepts the advice of his advisors so as to form guiding decisions, not one that asks his advisors "tell me what to do" and he will just sell it. Fake it 'till you make it works in a lot of positions and unfortunately, 40+ percent of Americans are going to add President of the United States to the list.

Obama's expression while Clinton said this was hilarious! You just KNOW that if Obama wasn't in trouble, he'd NEVER have asked for Bill's "help". I also thought the last bit of info from your link was comic gold! Clinton also said in Florida Wednesday night that Obama has proved himself by running a campaign that "involves so many people," adding: "He has executed this campaign in a way that is different from modern and forward thinking -- something no one else ever could have done. He can be the chief executor of good intentions as president."
It's not clear what he meant, since he pronounced the word 'executer.'
Asked about Clinton's intentions Wednesday, Goldfarb said: "I think ... he clearly chooses his language carefully."LOL

"Fox NEWS" is truly an oxymoron. No one takes Fox as a serious news organization. It's nothing more than Limbaugh with lipstick. AGG
